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 vehicle, for in‐
stance due to contact with the body due to tol‐
erances despite the same official size rating.
There is a risk of an accident. The manufac‐
turer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you
use wheels and tires that have been recom‐
mended by the vehicle manufacturer for your
vehicle type.
Warning
Mounted steel wheels can cause technical
problems, for instance unexpected loosening of
the lug bolts and damage to the brake discs.
There is a risk of accident. Do not mount steel
wheels.
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 Anti-lock Brake System or DSC Dy‐
namic Stability Control. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. To maintain good handling and vehicle
response, use only tires with a single tread con‐
figuration 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.
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.
