General information
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information la\
bel on the inside of the fuel
filler door.
The following is an example of a tire designation code: 225/55 R16
225 = tire width in mm.
55 = tire profile. This is the relationship (in percent) between the sect\
ion height and width of the tire.
R = radial tires.
16 = diameter in inches.
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. Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a som\
ewhat higher
degree of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-\
season" rating. However,
for optimum road holding on icy or snow covered roads - we recommend suitable winter tires on all
