▷ Unusual vibrations.
▷ Unusual tire or running noises.
▷ Unusual handling such as a strong tendency
to pull to the left or right.

tions, for instance:
▷ Driving over curbs.
▷ Road damage.
▷ Tire pressure too low.
▷ Vehicle overloading.
▷ Incorrect tire storage.
Safety information
Warning
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pressure,
which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There
is a risk of accident. If tire damage is suspected
while driving, immediately reduce speed and
stop. Have wheels and tires checked. For this
purpose, drive carefully to the nearest dealer’s
service center or another qualified service cen‐
ter or repair shop. Have vehicle towed or trans‐
ported as needed. Do not repair damaged tires,
but have them replaced.
Warning
Tires can become damaged by driving over ob‐
stacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at high
speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-
section. The smaller the tire cross-section, the
higher the risk of tire damage. There may be a
risk of accident and risk of damage to property.
If possible, avoid driving over objects or road
conditions that may damage tires, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.
Changing wheels and tires
Mounting and wheel balancing
Have mounting and wheel balancing carried out
by a dealer’s service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Approved wheels and tires
General information
The following properties are recommended and
approved by the manufacturer of the vehicle for
the approved wheels and tires per vehicle type
and special equipment:
▷ Wheel and tire combinations.
▷ Rim designs.
▷ Tire sizes.
▷ Tire brands.
You can ask a manufacturer service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop
about the approved wheels and tires for the vehi‐
cle and the special equipment.
Safety information
Warning
Wheels and tires which are not suitable for your
vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle, for in‐
stance due to contact with the body due to tol‐
erances despite the same official size rating.
There is a risk of an accident. The manufac‐
turer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you
use wheels and tires that have been recom‐
mended by the vehicle manufacturer for your
vehicle type.
