Tire tread

Tread depth should not be allowed to

go below 1/8 in/3 mm, even though

European legislation, for example,

requires a mimimum tread depth of only

1/16 in/1.6 mm. Below 1/8 in/3 mm

tread depth, there is a great risk of

hydroplaning, even at relatively moder-

ate speeds and with only small amounts

of water on the road.

At tread depths below approx.

3/16 in/4 mm, tire performance under

winter driving conditions deteriorates

noticeably. Worn tires should therefore

be replaced for safety considerations.

Tread wear indicators in the tread-

groove base, see arrow, are distributed

around the wheel circumference and

are labeled on the tire sidewall with

TWI, Tread Wear Indicator. At a tread

depth of 1/16 in/1.6 mm, the indicators

signal that the legally permissible wear

limit has been reached.

Run Flat tires*

Run Flat tires are labeled on the side-

wall with a circular symbol containing

the letters RSC.

Run Flat tires consist of self-supporting

tires and special rims. The tire rein-

forcement ensures that driving remains

possible to a restricted degree in the

event of pressure drop or even if the tire

is deflated.

Driving with a damaged tire

Depending on the cargo load, Run Flat

tires allow you to continue driving at a

maximum speed of 50 mph / 80 km/h.
