911 (996) Manufacturer's Certificate 64/20 ENU 4440 4 • In order to optimize smoothness of rolling, it is appropriate - and necessary in individual cases - to mount the tire in a certain (favorable) position with respect to the wheel (matching). Matching (uncontrolled and controlled) is explained below: Uncontrolled matching: • Turning the tire on the wheel by 90° or 120° if necessary in order to achieve an acceptable value with regard to rolling smoothness (true running, imbalance and weight distribution of balance weights). Controlled matching: • With a balancing machine with matching program. In most cases, this produces an even better result with regard to the rolling smoothness (true running, imbalance and weight distribution of the balance weights) than can be achieved with uncontrolled matching. • Maximum permissible radial runout and lateral runout of the wheels < 0.7 mm. Maximum permissible radial runout and lateral runout of the wheels with tires < 1.25 mm. Values < 1.50 mm -ideally approx. 0.5 mm - are desirable. • The mounting pressure (seating pressure) of 58 psi/4.0 bar overpressure must not be exceeded before both tire beads are evenly seated on the rim flange. New Tires (Replacements): • If new tires are to be mounted or the tires of one axle are to be replaced, tires of the same make, type and with the same specification code must always be used on each of the two axles. • If tires are replaced on one axle only, the different tread depth from that on the other axle can cause a noticeable change in the familiar handling. • This is especially the case if new tires are mounted on the rear axle. • This effect decreases with increasing tire mileage. When replacing a tire on an axle, make sure that the tread depth of the new tire does not differ from that of the other tire on the same axle by more than 30 %. Refer to WM 449503 for specific details of the vehicle you are working on. • >The 2mm specification will be given here. • > If there is none listed then the default is 30%. Repairs to Tires: • If a tire is damaged and it cannot be determined with absolute certainty that there is no ply damage - with all of its consequences - or if the tire was thermally or mechanically overloaded due to a loss of pressure or other prior damage, we recommend replacement of the tire in question for safety reasons. • Repairs to "V", "W", "Y", and "ZR" tires are not permissible, as is the use of inner tubes in tubeless tires. Tire Aging: • Tires age due to chemical and physical processes, which can impair their function. AfterSales PageJul 30,21 2021of 22
