Any tyre, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation or other conditions resulting from use.

Tyre failure may create risk of properly damage or personal injury. To reduce the risk of tyre failure and for your safety and comfort, we strongly recommend the following:

• Never mount a tyre on a rim that is damaged or which has been repaired by welding or brazing.
• Never inflate beyond 275 kPa (2.75bar, 40psi) to seat beads.
• Tyre inflation should be done in a safety cage.
• Do not mix different tyre size designations or construction on the same axle, except for limited use of temporary spare tyres.
• Outer diameter of wheel should be the same as inner diameter of tyre.
• Make sure to follow instructions in the car owner’s manual or on the vehicle tyre information placard in the car to maintain proper tyre pressure (Particularly driving on highway and/or when carrying heavy loads).
• Never bleed or reduce air pressure when tyres are hot from driving.
• Over- or under-inflation pressure (including spare tyre) at least once a month and before every long trip.
• Stones, gravel and other outer objects stuck in the tyre treads may damage the tyre. Remove outer objects form the tyre treads.
• Tyre should only be mounted by professionally trained persons.
• Objects in the road such as potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood debris, curbstones and such, which could damage a tyre should be safely avoided.
• To preserve traffic safety and tyre life, ZC rubber recommends driving safely and avoiding hard acceleration, braking or cornering in unnecessary situations.
• If you feel the car is unstable or feel any unusual noises or vibrations, stop your car in safe place and inspect your tyres. Even if no visible defects are found, drive slowly and ask your dealer to inspect your tyres as soon as possible.
• Winter tyres (studless, stud or snow tyres) should not be mixed with other types of tyres.
  New winter tyre should not be driven over 80km/h for the first 100km.
• When driving on winter roads, sudden starts and quick stops should be avoid and a safe car-to-car driving distance should be maintained.
• When using tyre chains be sure to use the proper size chains and affix with priority to the drive axle.
• Avoid driving with tyre chains for long distance on roads with no packed snow or ice.

Never use a tyre under the following conditions and replace tyres immediately:

• If the tread has worn to the tread wear indicator.
• If breaks in the fabric appear.
• If cords or wires are exposed.

Storage of steel belted radial tyres:

• Keep your tyres away from direct sunlight and locations with high
• temperature, high moisture, heavy electrical machinery, welders etc.
• Tyres should be preferably stored in a cool, dry, and dark room with
• controlled environment.
• To preserve traffic safety, ZC rubber recommends driving substantially slower under adverse weather or road conditions.
