Check tyre pressure and wear periodically as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Tyres feature wear indicators; replace tyres as soon as these indicators become visible on the tyre tread. Also check that the tyres do not show signs of splitting at the sides or irregular tread wear; if this occurs, go to an authorised workshop or at least to a workshop equipped to replace tyres.
