Tyre tread
Summer tyres
The tyre tread depth should not be less than
3 mm, 0.12 in, otherwise there is a high risk of
aquaplaning.
Winter tyres
The tyre tread depth should not be less than
4 mm, 0.16 in, otherwise the vehicle's suitability
for winter use is restricted.
Minimum tread depth
Wear displays are distributed across the tyre cir‐
cumference and have the legally prescribed min‐
imum height of 1.6 mm, approximately 0.06 in.
The positions of the wear displays are identified
on the tyre's side wall by TWI, Tread Wear Indi‐
cator.
Tyre damage
General
Inspect tyres regularly for damage, the presence
of foreign bodies and wear.
Vehicle behaviour that may indicate tyre damage
or other faults:
▷
Unusual vibrations.
▷
Unusual tyre or running noises.
▷
Unusual vehicle response, such as pro‐
nounced pulling to the left or right.
Damage can be caused by the following situa‐
tions, for example:
▷
Driving over kerbs.
▷
Road damage.
▷
Tyre inflation pressure insufficient.
▷
Vehicle overloading.
▷
Incorrect tyre storage.
Safety notes
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre inflation pres‐
sure may be reduced, which in turn could
cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a danger of accidents. If you suspect tyre
damage while you are driving, immediately re‐
duce speed and bring the vehicle to a stop.
Have the wheels and tyres checked. To do so,
carefully drive to a Service Partner of the manu‐
facturer or another qualified Service Partner or
a specialist workshop. If necessary, have the
vehicle towed or transported there. Do not re‐
pair damaged tyres, but have them replaced in‐
stead.
