HAVE A GOOD TRIP WITH OUR PRODUCTS. 3 AEOLUS STANDS FOR QUALITY 4 TRIED AND TESTED QUALITY AEOLUS Tyre* is one of the leading global tyre manufac- turers and has earned itself an exceptional international reputation as a manufacturer of commercial vehicles and OTR TYRES; felds in which quality, reliability and du- rability are the top priorities. The ACE series car tyres by AEOLUS are developed and produced in accordance with the same philosophy and the same high quality standards. THE ACE-SERIE The GreenACE, PrecisionACE and SteeringACE varieties are available in the most common market sizes and the range is being gradually expanded, which allows AEO- LUS to maintain its high quality. New additions to the exceptional tyre portfolio include SnowACE (winter ty- res), TransACE (for transporters and vans) and CrossACE (for SUVs). Thanks to this clear demarcation, customers with vary- ing expectations can be offered the best possible end product, which means AEOLUS car tyres play their part in keeping customers happy. THE PLUS POINTS OF THE ACE SERIES Optimal grip under wet conditions Extended lifespan Effective handling Modern profle design Low rolling resistance Certifcation to European standards Compliance with standards * The AEOLUS tyre company is part of the ChemChina group, one of the top 20 chemical companies worldwide. 5 IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THE ACE SE- RIES OF AEOLUS TYRES MEET ALL EUROPEAN STANDARDS. THEY ARE MANUFACTURED IN A BRAND NEW FACTORY; HARNESSING THE LATEST PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND EX- CLUSIVELY ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE METHODS AND PROCESSES. EUROPEAN STANDARDS 6 FUEL EFFICIENCY CLASS 7 classes from G (lowest effciency) to A (highest effciency). The difference between Class G and Class A can mean up to a 7.5% fuel saving with a complete set of tyres. Even more so in commer- cial vehicles. WET GRIP CLASS 7 classes from G (longest stop- ping distance) to A (shortest stop- ping distance). During full braking, the difference between Class A and Class G can amount to up to a 30% shor- ter stopping distance. This is, for example, for an average car at 80 km / h approx 18 meters. CLASS OF EXTERNAL ROLLING NOISE The black bars in the pictogram describe the external rolling noi- se of the tyre. The best value is represented by one bar. With this, the tyre is more than three decibels below the European li- mit. Two bars denote a tyre with middle volume levels and three bars a slightly louder tyre.

Tyre Pressure With the correct tyre pressure you will retainmaximum control over your vehicle,protect the tyres against pre- mature wear and tear and also obtain the optimum level of fuel consumption. The tyre pressure must correspond to the prescribed values, depending on the load and the type of use. These values can typically be found in the Users Manual for the vehicle or on a notice on the ve- hicle itself.The tyre pressure must be checked when the tyres are cold. It is very important to ensure that the tyre pressure is not reduced when the tyre is warm. For ve- hicles that spend a long period of time parked or out of action, the tyre pressure should be increased by 0.5 bar- to reduce the load on the tyres. The tyre pressure must be checked a minimum of once a month as well as be- fore long journeys. When doing this, do not forget to also check the spare wheel. Always remember that incorrect tyre pressure will increase the risk of damage to the tyre, reduce the lifespan of your tyre and will increase fuel consumption. 2. Tread Depth The legal minimum tread depth in many countries is 1.6mm (please always observe the national regulations). Always remember that your safety and mobility is de- pendent on the tread depth being suffcient, as, the lo- wer the tread depth of the tyre, the higher the risk of aquaplaning is. To ensure that there is suffcient safety margin available, particularly in the case of rapidly alte- ring weather conditions, summer tyres should be repla- ced when they have a tread depth of 3mm or less and winter tyres when they have a tread depth of 4mm (the national regulations must also always be observed here). 3. Valves/Valve Caps Valves and their components are made of rubber and metal, which can wear out. Possible consequences of the wear could include a loss of pressure in the tyre. Always screw valve caps on tightly and replace immediately if they are missing. It is essential to check that your valves and valve caps are in a good condition to guarantee the air-tightness of the tyre, that the correct tyre pressure is maintained and to ensure a longer life expectancy for the tyre. Additionally, there are special guidelines that must be observed if Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are used please get in contact with a specialist garage for more information. 4. Wheel Balancing Wheel balancing will prevent, among other things, the premature ageing of the tyres and will also prevent vib- rations. All wheels should be balanced as a precaution by a garage in the spring and winter and after every change of tyres. 29 5. Load and Speed The vehicle must not be overloaded and the permissi- ble values must be taken into account, particularly any changes that may occur as a result of roof racks being used or from the vertical load from attached trailers. Overloading,too-low tyre pressure, excessive speed and too high a temperature are all extremely dangerous for tyres. 6. Damage to the Tyres Tyres should be checked regularly for damage, such as for foreign objects that have penetrated the tyre, gouges, cuts, splits or warping in the side walls, for example. In- truding foreign objects could also have damaged the tyre internally so the damage should therefore be checked by a specialist to investigate the possibility of repair. Tyres should be replaced immediately if repairs are not possible. 7. Tyre Repairs As a rule, repairs of all types should only be carried out by specialist companies.Always ask an expert for advice, which will ensure the safety of the procedures forftting, removal, balancing and flling of the tyre. The tyre must be examined in a disassembled condition to be able to evaluate the damage to the tyre, as any possible damage cannot be recognised from the outside. Specialist com- panies will ensure that the tyres are handled correctly and hence that they are used in the optimal manner. Spe- cialist companies will ensure compliance with the natio- nal regulations, the manufacturers guidelines as well as the legal requirements in relation to the choice of tyre. 8. Tyre Age Tyres age as a result of physical and chemical processes. That is particularly true for tyres that are not used or are only used very little. To counteract this process, materials are added to the rubber compound that will reduce the performance-reducing chemical reactions with oxygen and ozone by the amounts required. It can therefore be guaranteed that a tyre that has been stored correctly for a number of years will meet the specifcations of a new tyre and that its suitability for use has not been reduced. It is recommended that tyres that are more than 8 years old should only continue to be used when they have pre- viously been continually in use under normal conditions. These tyres should therefore not be removed again but should remain in continual use. This is particularly true for the old tyres of caravans. It is therefore recommen- ded that these tyres should be replaced after 6 years,or at the latest after 8 years. 9. Handlingand Storage Even when your tyres are not in use, they can be expo- sed to a number of dangers. Always store tyres in a cool, dry and dark location.Tyres should never be stored on top of each other for a long period of time when they are not mounted.Do not place any other objects on the tyres. Store the tyres without the wheel rims and in a standing position.
