Tyre Safety |
|
These are some general
Tyre safety tips you should follow when
operating a motor vehicle.
-
When new Tyres
are fitted they should not be subjected to
maximum power or hard cornering until a reasonable "Run In" distance of
approximately 100 miles has been covered, on the road, on a race track at
least 4 laps at a slower pace.
-
Never fit a tube in a radial motorcycle
Tyre , nor fit a radial
tire on a rim requiring a tube. Never Mix radials with non-radials.
-
The letters S, H, V, and Z included in or after the size
marking on most tires are speed ratings recognized by the European
Tyre and
Rim Organization and Japanese Industry Standards. The ratings are assigned
based upon controlled indoor wheel assembly testing.
-
Tyre
manufacturers do not recommend the use of any of their
products in excess of legal speed limits.
