All-terrain tyres
Some vehicles can be fitted at the factory
with “all-terrain tyres”. These tyres have
a deep-tread
profile that alters the vehi-
cle’s driving properties such as comfort,
fuel economy, braking distance, cornering
behaviour, rolling noise → .
New tyres
— Drive particularly carefully for the first
600 km (370 miles) with new tyres as
the tyres have to be run in. Tyres that
have not been run in have reduced grip
and braking
efficiency

.
— All four wheels must be fitted with radial
tyres of the same type, size, and the
same tread pattern.
Replacing tyres
— Always replace tyres at least on an axle-
by-axle basis.
— Old tyres should only be replaced by
tyres that have been approved for the ve-
hicle type.
— Never use tyres with an effective size that
is larger than tyres approved for the vehi-
cle.
In vehicles with a Tyre Pressure Loss In-
dicator
The Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator must be
resynchronised
after changing one or more
wheels. This also applies if the wheels have
been swapped, e.g. from the front to the
rear

On vehicles with Tyre Pressure Moni-
toring System
If you wish to replace factory-fitted wheels,
make sure that the new wheels are equip-
ped with sensors that are compatible with
the TPM
→
page 331.
1. Drive the vehicle at a speed of over
around 25 km/h (around 15 mph) for an
extended period so that the new
wheels can be detected.
It is recommended that a new valve set and
set of seals is used every time the sensors
are replaced or
modified.

WARNING
Corrosive liquids and other substances
can cause visible and invisible damage to
the tyres, which can cause the tyre to
burst.
·
Always keep chemicals, oils, lubricants,
fuel, brake fluid and other corrosive
substances away from the tyres.
WARNING
Even if they have not been used, old tyres
can suddenly lose pressure or burst, espe-
cially at high speeds, and thus cause acci-
dents and serious injuries.
·
Use tyres that are more than six years
old only if you have no alternative. In
this case, drive slowly and with extra
care at all times.
WARNING
New tyres will have to be run in as they
will initially have reduced grip and braking
effect.
·
Drive particularly carefully for the first
600 km (370 miles) in order to prevent
accidents and serious injury.
WARNING
The deep-tread profile of all-terrain tyres
can considerably increase the braking dis-
tance or cornering behaviour and thus
cause accidents and serious injuries.
·
Always remember that the vehicle han-
dling may have been altered, and drive
with appropriate caution.
WARNING
Wheels must have the necessary freedom
of operation. If the wheels do not have
the necessary freedom of operation, the
tyre could rub on parts of the running
gear, the vehicle body and the brake lines.
This can lead to a fault in the brake sys-
tem and to tread separation and thus to
a tyre bursting.
·
The actual tyre size must not exceed
the tyre dimensions of manufacturers
approved for the vehicle and the tyres
must not rub on any vehicle body parts.
