It is advisable that the pair of tires assembled on an axle are
replaced when on the tread, after the small blocks
consumption, continuous bands appear extended to the
whole tire width (displayed in the figures with dots).
The tires further have wear indicators A and B placed next
to indicator TWI for PIRELLI tire (B) and next to MICHELIN
(A) symbol for those of this latter manufacturer: the
replacement is mandatory in case these indicators are
reached.

(The values placed inside every figure show the
amount of tire pressure, while the efficiency is
referred to the tire life.)
