General notes
For safety reasons, tires should be replaced not individually but in pairs for one axle at a time or for both axles together.

The tires with the deeper tread should always be moved to the front wheels.

It is advisable to use tires of the same make, design and tread pattern on all wheels.

Note operating information in the operator's manual.
If the microencapsulated bolt for the wheel electronics is loosened, the bolt must always be replaced.

For safety reasons, damaged wheel electronics or valve stems must be replaced.

Do not clean wheel electronics using pressure cleaners or compressed air at a high pressure.

Wheel electronics must be replaced after using tire sealing fluid, due to erroneous measurements caused by deposits of tire sealing fluid at pressure sensor.
