▷ Unusual handling such as a strong ten‐
dency to pull to the left or right.

tions, for instance:
▷ Driving over curbs.
▷ Road damage.
▷ Tire inflation pressure too low.
▷ Vehicle overloading.
▷ Incorrect tire storage.
Safety information
WARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pres‐
sure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control.
There is a risk of an accident. If tire damage is
suspected while driving, immediately reduce
speed and stop. Have wheels and tires
checked. For this purpose, drive carefully to the
nearest dealer’s service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop. Have
vehicle towed or transported as needed. Do not
repair damaged tires, but have them re‐
placed.◀
WARNING
Tires can become damaged by driving
over obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at
high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire
cross-section. The smaller the tire cross-section,
the higher the risk of tire damage. There is a
danger of accidents and property damage. If
possible, drive around obstacles, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.◀

Wheel and tire combination
General information
You can ask the dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop
about the correct wheel/tire combination and
wheel rim versions for the vehicle.
Safety information
WARNING
Wheels and tires which are not suitable
for your vehicle can damage parts of the vehi‐
cle, for instance due to contact with the body
due to tolerances despite the same official size
rating. There is a risk of an accident. The manu‐
facturer of your vehicle strongly suggests that
you use wheels and tires that have been rec‐
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer for
your vehicle type.◀
WARNING
Incorrect wheel/tire combinations will
have a negative impact on the vehicle's han‐
dling and on the function of a variety of sys‐
tems, such as ABS or DSC. There is a risk of an
accident. To maintain good handling and vehi‐
cle 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 rec‐
ommended by the vehicle manufacturer for
your vehicle type. Following tire damage, have
the original wheel/tire combination remounted
on the vehicle as soon as possible.◀
