Information on the direction of the tires' rota‐
tion
Tires with a specified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk of hydro‐
planing. You will only gain these benefits if the
correct direction of rotation is observed.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates its
correct direction of rotation.
You may also install a spare wheel against the
direction of rotation. Observe the time restriction
on use as well as the speed limitation specified
on the spare wheel.
