Tyre Safety

These are some general Tyre safety tips you should follow when operating a motor vehicle.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3.   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.

  4.   Tyre manufacturers do not recommend the use of any of their products in excess of legal speed limits.
