tain good handling and vehicle response, use
only tires with a single tread configuration from
a single manufacturer. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends that you use wheels and
tires that have been recommended by the vehi‐
cle manufacturer for your vehicle type. Follow‐
ing tire damage, have the original wheel/tire
combination remounted on the vehicle as soon
as possible.
Warning
Unsuitable wheel studs, such as single-section
wheel studs, may loosen or come off. The
wheel may come loose during driving. There is
a risk of accident. Use only two-section wheel
studs that have been categorized as suitable
for the respective wheel type by the manufac‐
turer of the vehicle.
Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of the vehi‐
cle recommends certain tire brands. The tire
brands can be identified by a star on the tire
sidewall.
New tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufacturing
circumstances when tires are brand-new; they
achieve their full traction potential after a break-in
time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreaded tires can have different tire casing
structures. With advanced age the service life
can be limited. There is a risk of an accident.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Winter tires
General information
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires provide
better winter traction than summer tires, they
usually do not provide the same level of perform‐
ance as winter tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires,
then attach a label showing the permissible maxi‐
mum speed in the field of view. The label is avail‐
able from a dealer's service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
With winter tires mounted, observe and do not
exceed the permissible maximum speed.
Changing runflat tires
For your own safety, use only runflat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire. Fur‐
ther information is available from a dealer's serv‐
ice center or another qualified service center or
repair shop.
