Wheels and Tyres
³
Check regularly that the wheel nuts or
wheel bolts are firmly seated. Re-tighten the
wheel nuts or wheel bolts of a changed
wheel cross-wise after 50 km (30 miles)
(Fig. 183).
³
When using new or newly painted rims, re-
tighten the wheel nuts or wheel bolts once
again after approx. 1000 to 5000 km
(600 miles to 3000 miles).
³
For lay-ups or long periods of inactivity,
keep the tyres and tyre bearings free from
pressure points:
-
Jack up the motorhome so that the tyres
do not bear any load
or
-
move the motorhome every 4 weeks to
change the position of the tyres.

³
Drive in such a way as to protect your tyres. Avoid braking sharply, revving up too strongly and
long journeys on poor roads.

Tyre Selection
The tyre sizes permissable for a vehicle are indicated in the vehicle documents. Each tyre must fit
the vehicle on which it will be driven. This applies to the external dimensions (diameter, width), which
are indicated with the standardized size designations. In addition, the tyres must meet the require-
ments of the vehicle with regard to weight and speed.
Weight refers to the maximum permissable axle load which can be distributed on two tyres. The
maximum load-carrying capacity of a tyre is indicated by its load index (= LI, load index code).
The axle geometry of a vehicle, such as wheel camber and track, are also important for tyre selec-
tion. The maximum permissable speed for a tyre (with full load capacity) is indicated by the speed
index (= SI). Together, load index and speed index form the operating code of a tyre. This is an of-
ficial component of the complete, standardized dimensions descritpion which appears on every tyre.
The information on the tyres must correspond to the specifications which appear in the vehicle pa-
pers.
