Tire Replacement
Warning!
Important!
Front tires should be replaced in sets.
Furthermore - in the event of tire
replacement - the spare wheel, if
possible, should be used on the rear
axle. Rims and tires must be of the
same size. For dimensions, see
"Technical Data".

If the tire tread is badly worn, or if
the tires have sustained damage,
replace them.
Unidirectional snow tires must always
be mounted with arrow on tire sidewall

regular intervals.

the spare wheel is used for the first
time or when a set of wheels with M +

out at a mileage of 3000-6000 miles
(5000-10000) km, before the charac-
teristic tire wear pattern (shoulder wear
on front wheels and tread center wear
on rear wheels) becomes visible, as

The rim flanges must be checked for
