FUEL EFFICIENCY CLASS

7 classes from G (lowest effi ciency)

to A (highest effi ciency).

The difference between Class G

and Class A can mean up to a 7.5%

fuel saving with a complete set of

tyres. Even more so in commer-

cial vehicles.

WET GRIP CLASS

7 classes from G (longest stop-

ping distance) to A (shortest stop-

ping distance).

During full braking, the difference

between Class A and Class G

can amount to up to a 30% shor-

ter stopping distance. This is, for

example, for an average car at

80 km / h approx 18 meters.

CLASS OF EXTERNAL

ROLLING NOISE

The black bars in the pictogram

describe the external rolling noi-

se of the tyre. The best value is

represented by one bar. With

this, the tyre is more than three

decibels below the European li-

mit. Two bars denote a tyre with

middle volume levels and three

bars a slightly louder tyre.

TYRE SAFETY TIPS

28

1. Tyre Pressure

With the correct tyre pressure you will retainmaximum

control over your vehicle,protect the tyres against pre-

mature wear and tear and also obtain the optimum level

of fuel consumption. The tyre pressure must correspond

to the prescribed values, depending on the load and the

type of use. These values can typically be found in the

User’s Manual for the vehicle or on a notice on the ve-

hicle itself.The tyre pressure must be checked when the

tyres are cold. It is very important to ensure that the tyre

pressure is not reduced when the tyre is warm. For ve-

hicles that spend a long period of time parked or out of

action, the tyre pressure should be increased by 0.5 bar-

to reduce the load on the tyres. The tyre pressure must

be checked a minimum of once a month as well as be-

fore long journeys. When doing this, do not forget to also

check the spare wheel. Always remember that incorrect

tyre pressure will increase the risk of damage to the tyre,

reduce the lifespan of your tyre and will increase fuel

consumption.

2. Tread Depth

The legal minimum tread depth in many countries is

1.6mm (please always observe the national regulations).

Always remember that your safety and mobility is de-

pendent on the tread depth being sufficient, as, the lo-

wer the tread depth of the tyre, the higher the risk of

aquaplaning is. To ensure that there is sufficient safety

margin available, particularly in the case of rapidly alte-

ring weather conditions, summer tyres should be repla-

ced when they have a tread depth of 3mm or less and

winter tyres when they have a tread depth of 4mm (the

national regulations must also always be observed here).

3. Valves/Valve Caps

Valves and their components are made of rubber and

metal, which can wear out. Possible consequences of the

wear could include a loss of pressure in the tyre. Always

screw valve caps on tightly and replace immediately if

they are missing. It is essential to check that your valves

and valve caps are in a good condition to guarantee the

air-tightness of the tyre, that the correct tyre pressure is

maintained and to ensure a longer life expectancy for the

tyre. Additionally, there are special guidelines that must

be observed if Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)

are used – please get in contact with a specialist garage

for more information.

4. Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing will prevent, among other things, the

premature ageing of the tyres and will also prevent vib-

rations. All wheels should be balanced as a precaution by

a garage in the spring and winter and after every change

of tyres.

5. Load and Speed

The vehicle must not be overloaded and the permissi-

ble values must be taken into account, particularly any

changes that may occur as a result of roof racks being

used or from the vertical load from attached trailers.

Overloading,too-low tyre pressure, excessive speed and

too high a temperature are all extremely dangerous for

tyres.

6. Damage to the Tyres

Tyres should be checked regularly for damage, such as

for foreign objects that have penetrated the tyre, gouges,

cuts, splits or warping in the side walls, for example. In-

truding foreign objects could also have damaged the tyre

internally so the damage should therefore be checked by

a specialist to investigate the possibility of repair. Tyres

should be replaced immediately if repairs are not possible.

7. Tyre Repairs

As a rule, repairs of all types should only be carried out

by specialist companies.Always ask an expert for advice,

which will ensure the safety of the procedures forfitting,

removal, balancing and filling of the tyre. The tyre must

be examined in a disassembled condition to be able to

evaluate the damage to the tyre, as any possible damage

cannot be recognised from the outside. Specialist com-

panies will ensure that the tyres are handled correctly

and hence that they are used in the optimal manner. Spe-

cialist companies will ensure compliance with the natio-

nal regulations, the manufacturer’s guidelines as well as

the legal requirements in relation to the choice of tyre.

8. Tyre Age

Tyres age as a result of physical and chemical processes.

That is particularly true for tyres that are not used or are

only used very little. To counteract this process, materials

are added to the rubber compound that will reduce the

performance-reducing chemical reactions with oxygen

and ozone by the amounts required. It can therefore be

guaranteed that a tyre that has been stored correctly for

a number of years will meet the specifications of a new

tyre and that its suitability for use has not been reduced.

It is recommended that tyres that are more than 8 years

old should only continue to be used when they have pre-

viously been continually in use under normal conditions.

These tyres should therefore not be removed again but

should remain in continual use. This is particularly true

for the old tyres of caravans. It is therefore recommen-

ded that these tyres should be replaced after 6 years,or

at the latest after 8 years.

9. Handlingand Storage

Even when your tyres are not in use, they can be expo-

sed to a number of dangers. Always store tyres in a cool,

dry and dark location.Tyres should never be stored on

top of each other for a long period of time when they are

not mounted.Do not place any other objects on the tyres.

Store the tyres without the wheel rims and in a standing

position. Avoid contact with petrol, oil and grease.

Designations, Load and Speed Index

The markings on the sides of the tyres essentially describethe following things

• The size and specification of the tyre

• Evidence that the tyre has been tested and meets legal safety

standards

205/55 R 16205 = the tyre width in millimetres 55 = Aspect ratio, i.e. Ratio of the height to the width of a tyre R = centrifugal design 16 = Rim diameter in inches

Load index (LI)The load index is a numerical code that indicates the maximum load that a tyre can sustain. 91 LI = 615 kg

Speed classification index (SI)The speed classification index indicates the maximum speed at which a tyre can be driven with full load.V SI = 240 km/h
