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 impair the
vehicle's handling characteristics and a variety
of system functions, such as the Antilock Brak‐
ing System (ABS) or Dynamic Stability Control.
There is a risk of accident. To maintain good
handling and vehicle response, use only tires
with a single tread configuration from a single
manufacturer. The manufacturer of the vehicle
recommends that you use wheels and tires that
have been recommended by the vehicle manu‐
facturer for your vehicle type. Following tire
damage, have the original wheel/tire combina‐
tion remounted on the vehicle as soon as pos‐
sible.
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 production-re‐
lated circumstances when tires are brand-new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreaded tires can have different tire casing
structures. With advanced age the service life
can be limited. There is a risk of an accident.
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec‐
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Winter tires
General information
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Although so-called all-season tires with M+S
identification provide better winter traction than
summer tires, they usually do not provide the
same level of performance as winter tires.
