Tyre size conversion
|
Before performing any tyre conversion:
Ensure that the tyre which is to be mounted as a replacement to the original fitment has a load index and speed symbol equivalent to or higher than the original fitted tyres (based on ETRTO: The European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation).
Respect the laws currently in effect.
Ensure that the diameter and width of the rims conform to the recommendations of ETRTO (tyre and corresponding rim information can also be found in the rim manufacturer's documents) and correspond to the tyre size chosen.
Ensure that the shock absorber's travel distance on the vehicle is sufficient in order to accept the replacement tyre size without posing any mechanical or steering problem.
Remember that additional space is required if chains are to be fitted to the tyres in the winter.
Changing to Corresponding Rims for different Series Aspect Ratio tyres
Within the scope of the previous mentioned basic rules it is possible to mount tyres of a lower aspect ratio using a larger rim diameter. In order to maintain the same outside diameter of a tyre it is necessary to increase the rim diameter. As the aspect ratio of a tyre becomes smaller, the width of the tyre increases. To find the possible conversions for your vehicle please consult the FULDA TYREMANAGER.
In case of a rim change, it is important to respect exactly the same track distance of the original fitment as foreseen by he manufacturer.
All values concerning tyre conversion do not constitute a professional binding agreement (manufacturer or distributor). The dealer and the end user are bound by law to respect obligatory regulations, technical instructions, directives from the vehicle manufacturer, the tyre and rim manufacturers as well as legislative and regulatory authorities.
