Tire traction
Warning!
When driving on wet or slushy roads, a wedge
of water may build up between the tires
and the road. This phenomenon is known
as “hydroplane” and may cause partial or
complete loss of traction, vehicle control or
stopping ability.
Reduce speed on wet surface to prevent this.
Tire life
Tire life depends on various factors, i. e., road
surfaces, traffic and weather conditions, driving
habits, type of tires and tire care.
Inspect your tires for wear and damage before
driving off. If you notice uneven or substantial
wear, wheels might need alignment or tires
should be balanced or replaced.
