In case of tire damage
Incorrect wheel and tire combinations impair the
function of a variety of systems such as ABS or
DSC.
If there are indications of tire damage, re‐
duce your speed immediately and have the
wheels and tires checked right away; otherwise,
there is the increased risk of an accident.
To maintain good handling and vehicle re‐
sponse, use only tires with a single tread con‐
figuration from a single manufacturer.
Drive carefully to the next service center or tire
shop.
Following tire damage, have the original wheel
and tire combination remounted on the vehicle
as soon as possible.
If necessary, have the vehicle towed.◀
Repair of tire damage
Approved wheels and tires
For safety reasons, the manufacturer of
your vehicle recommends that you do not have
damaged tires repaired; they should be re‐
placed. Otherwise, damage can occur as a re‐
sult.◀
The manufacturer of your vehicle recom‐
mends that you use only wheels and tires that
have been approved for your particular vehicle
model.
For example, despite having the same official
size ratings, variations can lead to body contact
and with it, the risk of severe accidents.
Tire age
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.◀
Recommendation
Regardless of wear, replace tires at least every
6
years.
Manufacture date
Recommended tire brands
On the sidewall:
DOT … 3510: the tire was manufactured in the
35th
week in 2010.
Changing wheels and tires
Mounting
Information on mounting tires
Have mounting and balancing performed
only by a service center or tire specialist.
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.
If this work is not carried out properly, there is
the danger of subsequent damage and related
safety hazards.◀
With proper use, these tires meet the highest
standards for safety and handling.
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.
