WARNING Risk of accident with high per-
formance tires
The special tire tread in combination with the
optimized tire compound means that the risk
of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is
increased.
In addition, the tire grip is greatly reduced at a
low outside temperature and tire running tem-
perature.
# Switch on the ESP

ing style accordingly.

M+S tires at outside tempera-
tures of less than 50 °F (10 °C).
