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