Tyres must be changed when they are below 1.6mm tread depth across the face of the tyre tread area. Tyres should also be changed if they show any signs of structural damage such as pothole or kerb damage.
The load index is a numerical code indicating the maximum load a tyre can carry. The load depends on the speed indicated by the tyres speed symbol, the actual maximum speed and any special features of the vehicle model under the service conditions specified by the tyre manufacturer.
The speed symbol shows the maximum speed permitted for the tyre under load as per the load index and the manufacturer’s instructions.
For example “101 Y” would indicate 825kg and 300KM/H respectively.
Correct tyre pressures for your vehicle can be found on the tyre placard located in the inside of the driver’s side door or vehicle owner’s manual. Tyre pressures should be set when the tyre is cold as pressures increase when the tyre has been driven.
Tyre pressure should be checked weekly to ensure optimum performance and wear life.
All tyres have a production code labelled on the tyre itself. The last four figures of this code show the date of manufacture, e.g. 3018 indicates the 30th week of 2018.
