Always consider tire conditions when driving, and regularly inspect the tread and sidewalls for any sign of distortion (bulges), cuts, or wear.

Good driving practice will improve the mileage you obtain from your tires and avoid unnecessary damage.

• Always ensure that the tire pressures are correctly adjusted.
• Always observe the posted speed limits and advisory speeds.
• Avoid pulling away quickly or hard acceleration.
• Avoid making fast turns or sharply braking.
• Avoid potholes and objects on the road.
• Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking.

Tire Wear

Tires fitted as original equipment have tread wear indicators molded into the tread pattern.

When the tread has been worn down to approximately 2/32 inch (1.6 mm), the indicators become flush with the surface of the tread pattern, producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tire.

A tire must be replaced as soon as an indicator band becomes flush to the tread, indicating the tread has reached the minimum permitted by legislation.

Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance

Unbalanced wheels (sometimes noticeable as steering wheel vibration), may affect vehicle handling and tire life. Wheels can get out of balance even with regular use. Therefore, you should balance your wheels, as required.

Wheel and Tire Rotation

Lucid does not recommend moving the wheels between the front and rear axles, or from side-to-side on the same axle pair.

Punctured Tires

Your vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires, which may not leak when penetrated (provided the object remains in the tire).

However, immediately reduce your speed if you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or suspect your tire or vehicle has been damaged. Drive slowly while avoiding heavy braking or sharp steering, and when safe to do so, stop the vehicle.

Inspect the tires for damage. If you notice the tire is under-inflated but has no apparent sidewall damage, try using a tire repair kit. However, if you are unable to identify the cause of the issue or if the tire is severely damaged, it's best to have the vehicle towed to a tire repair center or Lucid Service Center for further inspection.

Frequently checking the tire pressures is important because a puncture will eventually cause the tire to lose pressure. Punctured or damaged tires must be permanently repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Age Degradation

Tires degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tires are replaced every six years, but may require more frequent replacement.

Each tire should be checked monthly and inflated to the pressure recommended on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If the tires on your vehicle differ in size from those listed on the placard or label, you should determine the appropriate inflation pressure for those tires).

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire will cause the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces battery range and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as an added safety feature. A low-tire pressure indicator will illuminte when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible when the low tire pressure indicator illuminates, and inflate them to the proper pressure. See Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Checking Tire Pressure

Select >  Vehicle > Tire Pressure to view the current tire pressures on the Pilot Panel.

If it is necessary to check the tires when they are warm, you should expect the pressures to have increased. Do not reduce the pressure of warm tires in an attempt to match the recommended cold tire pressures.

Select the RECOMMENDED tab to view the recommended COLD tire pressures for your vehicle. Always inflate your tires to the pressures recommended by Lucid, even if it is different from the maximum inflation pressure information found on the tire itself.

Adjusting Tire Pressure

To check and adjust tire pressure:

1. Remove the cap from the valve, then firmly press the tire gauge onto the valve and measure the pressure.
2. If required, add air to reach the required pressure.
3. Check the pressure by removing the tire gauge and then re-attaching it. Failure to remove and re-attach the gauge to the valve could cause the gauge to show an incorrect reading.
4. If the tire pressure is too high, remove the gauge and release air from the tire by pressing on the metal stem in the center of the valve. Refit the gauge to the valve and check the pressure.
5. Repeat the process of adding or removing air as required until the correct tire pressure is reached.
6. Refit the valve cap.

Tire Valves

Keep the valve caps firmly screwed down firmly to prevent water or dirt from entering the valve. Check the valves for leaks when checking the tire pressures.

Flat Spots

The tires may form flat spots if the vehicle is stationary for a long period during high, ambient temperatures. When the vehicle is driven, these flat spots will cause a vibration that will steadily disappear as the tires warm up and regain their original shape.

Tire Pressures During Long-Term Storage

Inflate tires to the maximum pressure as indicated on the tire wall to minimize flat spots during storage.

Wheel rims and tires are matched to suit the handling characteristics of the vehicle. Always check that replacement tires comply with the original specification. If tires other than those specified are used, ensure that the load and speed ratings (shown on the tire side wall), equal or exceed those of the original specification.

Ideally, tires should be replaced as sets of four. If this is not possible, replace the tires in pairs (front and rear). The wheels should be balanced and the alignment checked when replacng tires.

Asymmetric Tires

Your vehicle is equipped with asymmetric tires that have different tread patterns on the outer and inner edge of the tire. On the outside edge, the tread pattern exhibits large tread blocks that are designed to provide dry traction and handling thanks to a larger contact area with the road.

On the inside edge, the tread block is smaller to provide better wet grip. An increased number of grooves helps disperse water on wet roads and reduce the risk of aquaplaning. This means that the tire is built to provide great performance in both wet and dry conditions.

Asymmetric tires must be mounted on the wheel with the correct sidewall facing outwards from the vehicle. The sidewall of the tire is marked with the word OUTSIDE.

Always make sure the tires are correctly oriented when new tires are installed.

Run-Flat Tires

Summer Tires

Your vehicle may be originally equipped with high-performance summer tires. Summer tires are designed for maximum dry and wet road performance but are not designed to perform well in winter conditions.

Lucid recommends using winter tires if driving in cold temperatures or on roads where snow or ice may be present.

All-Season Tires

Your vehicle may be originally equipped with all-season tires. These tires are designed to provide adequate traction in most conditions year-round but may not provide the same level of traction as winter tires in snowy or icy conditions. All-season tires can be identified by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (mud and snow) on the tire sidewall.

Winter Tires

Use winter tires to increase traction when driving in sustained temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or in snowy or icy conditions.

For winter tires, always install a complete set of four tires at the same time. All winter tires should be the same diameter, brand, construction, and tread pattern on all four wheels.

For recommendations on winter tires, contact your Lucid Service Center.

Tire performance is reduced in low ambient temperatures, resulting in reduced grip and increased susceptibility to damage from impacts. Performance tires can temporarily harden when cold, causing you to hear rotational noise for the first few miles (kilometers) until the tires warm up.

Tire Chains

Snow Socks

In conditions where tire traction is challenging, snow socks may be fitted for improvements in grip. Depending on the snow sock, permitted use cases may vary. Refer to the snow sock owner’s manual for specific details on your product.

Snow socks are the recommended snow traction device and recommended installation is on rear axle tires.

Recommended wheel and tire configuration is the for 19" wheels fitted with 245/45R19 Pirelli P Zero All-season tires (LM1, Lucid OE spec tires) or 245/45R19 Pirelli Sottozero 3 Winter tires (LM1, Lucid OE spec tires).

For recommendations on snow socks, contact your Lucid Service Center.
