Wheel and tire combination
General information
You can ask the dealer's service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop about the correct wheel/tire combina-
tion 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
vehicle, 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 manufacturer of your ve-
hicle strongly suggests that you use
wheels and tires that have been recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer for
your vehicle type.
Warning
Incorrect wheel/tire combinations will
have a negative impact on the vehicle's
handling and on the function of a variety
of systems, such as the ABS Antilock Brak-
ing System or DSC Dynamic Stability Con-
trol. There is a risk of accident. To main-
tain good handling and vehicle response,
use only tires with a single tread configu-
ration from a single manufacturer. The
manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you use wheels and tires that have
been recommended by the vehicle manu-
facturer for your vehicle type. Following
tire damage, have the original wheel/tire
combination remounted on the vehicle as
soon as possible.
Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of the
vehicle 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 manufac-
turing circumstances when tires are brand-
new; they achieve their full traction poten-
tial after a break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreaded tires can have different tire cas-
ing structures. With advanced age the
service life can be limited. There is a risk
of an accident. The manufacturer of your
vehicle does not recommend the use of re-
treaded tires.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not
recommend the use of retreaded tires.
