General information
Your vehicle is equipped with 6 x 15" wheel rims (steel) 740
6 x 15" wheel rims (5-spoke alloy wheels) 740 Turbo
MXL Tires, 740
MXV Tires, 740 Turbo
In other words the width of the wheel rim is 6 inches and its diameter 15 inches.
The tire designation is coded as follows:
185 or 195 = tire width in mm.
60 or 65 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the section height and the width of
the tire.
R = radial tires.
15 = suitable intended rim size.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ice-free
surfaces. For optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads - we recommend suitable winter tires.
