Notes on directional tyres

Directional tyres only provide maximum
performance when they are mounted in the
correct direction of rotation. If the tyres or
spare wheel must be mounted opposing
the specified direction of rotation (e.g.
after changing a flat tyre), observe the
following:
z
Vehicle handling may change. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible, and have the wheel balanced
and mounted on the vehicle.
z
Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80
km/h).
z
Be especially careful when driving in rain
and snow.
