W WARNING ARNING Risk of accident with high per-
formance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with the
optimised tyre compound means that the risk
of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is
increased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temperature and tyre running
temperature.
#
Switch on the ESP ® and adapt your driv-
ing style accordingly.
#
Use
i
M+S tyres at outside tempera-
tures of less than 10 °C.

Only use the tyres for their intended pur-
pose.
