Changing the Tyres

The following steps describe how to change tyres from summer to winter season (and vice-versa).

Important: change the summer tyres every 5 years and the winter tyres every 4 years.

Tip: before changing the tyres, pump them at p ≅ 2.5 bar for better preservation.

  1. With the car in 1st gear and the handbrake pulled, loose all the screws of each one of the four tyres.
  2. Jack up the car and remove one tire at a time writing on each its position:
    1. FL: front-left
    2. FR: front-right
    3. BL: back-left
    4. BR: back-right
  3. Mount the new tyre and start screwing the screws using a little of the copper grease on the threads.
  4. Lower the car and finish locking the screws at 110 Nm.
  5. Repeat for the other tyres.

Important: the next season, do not change the position of the tyres: those in front always goes in front and those on the right side always goes on the right. In this way, the dynamic balancing will never change.
