Requirements breached

In the concerned vehicles, preliminary damage can be caused to the tyres through intensive use. Consequently an abrupt loss of air or even a blowout caused by the tyre heating up after long transportation drives on motorway/express roads and at high speeds cannot be excluded. An abrupt loss of air or a tyre blowout could impair the road behaviour of the vehicle and its driving stability.
