Dear HSV Owner,

Please be aware of the recommendations for tyre care for your HSV.

Your tyres are a soft compound, high performance tyre. Therefore:

• The inflation pressure in your tyres determines the size and shape of the tyre's "footprint".
• (Tyre pressure)…affects the ways your car rides and handles, but will also determine the way the tyres wear and how long they will last.
• The tyre pressures on the tyre placard will provide you with the best balance between ride, handling and wear, if correctly maintained.
• Remember to increase tyre pressures for high loads and/or sustained high-speed operation as this reduces the operating temperature of the tyre in these extreme conditions.
• Tyre pressures should be checked weekly using an accurate tyre gauge (HSV provided). Check when tyres are cold.
• Wheel alignment needs to be checked regularly (refer Owner's Handbook).

19" Pirelli Tyres:

• Front to Rear tyre rotation should be carried out, ideally, every 5,000kms to maximise tyre life.

17" & 18" Bridgestone Directional SO2 tyres:

• Remove the left hand rear tyre off the rim and fit to the right hand rear rim. Fit right hand rear tyre to the left hand rear rim every 5,000km's.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Behr,
