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.
Winter tires
Winter tires are recommended for operat-
ing on winter roads.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires pro-
vide better winter traction than summer
tires, they usually do not provide the same
level of performance 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 maximum speed in the field of
view. The label is available 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
When changing from run-flat tires to stand-
ard tires, it must be ensured that the vehicle
contains a compact spare tire ("donut") or
tire mobility kit. Further information is
available from a dealer's service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop.
