HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM

MICHELIN TYRES.

Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry.. We can tell you what this should be,..

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

:

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the head.

"

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover"

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.

Start and stop gently and take corners slowly.

Lastly buy
