The payload and the durability of tyres is directly dependent on the tyre pres-
sure. Air is a volatile medium. It is unavoidable that it will escape from tyres.
As a rule of thumb it can be assumed that a filled tyre loses pressure at a rate
of 0.1 bar every two months. To prevent the tyres becoming damaged or burst,
check the tyre pressure regularly.
The contact surface of the tyre changes, depending on the tyre pressure.
The vehicles are constantly brought up to the newest technical standards. It is
possible that new tyre sizes are not yet included in this table. If this is the case,
any dealer will be happy to provide the newest values.
Z
Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. Do not reduce the higher tyre pres-
sure when the tyres are warm.

The information on pressure levels is valid for cold tyres and loaded
vehicles.

Pressure in hot tyres is higher than in cold tyres. Therefore, check the pres-
sure when the tyres are cold.
