Wheel and tire combination
Retreaded tires
Information on the correct wheel-tire combina‐
tion and rim versions for your vehicle can be ob‐
tained from your service center.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Retreaded tires
Incorrect wheel and tire combinations impair the
function of a variety of systems such as ABS or
DSC.
Possibly substantial variations in the de‐
sign and age of the tire casing structures can
limit service life and have a negative impact on
road safety.◀
To maintain good handling and vehicle re‐
sponse, use only tires with a single tread con‐
figuration from a single manufacturer.
Winter tires
Following tire damage, have the original wheel
and tire combination remounted on the vehicle
as soon as possible.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
winter tires for winter roads or at temperatures
below +45 ℉/+7 ℃.
Approved wheels and tires
Although so-called all-season M+S tires do pro‐
vide better winter traction than summer tires,
they do not provide the same level of perform‐
ance as winter tires.
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom‐
mends that you use only wheels and tires that
have been approved for your particular vehicle
model.
Maximum speed of winter tires
For example, despite having the same official
size ratings, variations can lead to body contact
and with it, the risk of severe accidents.
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires,
then display a corresponding sign in the field of
vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire spe‐
cialist or from your service center.
The manufacturer of your vehicle cannot evalu‐
ate non-approved wheels and tires to determine
if they are suited for use, and therefore cannot
ensure the operating safety of the vehicle if they
are mounted.◀
Maximum speed for winter tires
Do not exceed the maximum speed for the
winter tires; otherwise, tire damage and acci‐
dents can occur.◀
Recommended tire brands
Rotating wheels between axles
The manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against swapping wheels between the front and
rear axles.
This can impair the handling characteristics.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐
hicle recommends certain tire brands. These
can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
