CORRECT USE OF THE CAR

It is necessary therefore to limit their use
to the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANTWhen winter tyres are
used with a maximum speed index below
the one that can be reached by the vehicle
(increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger’s compartment, plainly in the dri-
ver’s view, which states the maximum per-
missible speed of the winter tyres (as per
CE Directive).
Fit the same type of tyre on all four
wheels (brand and profile) to ensure high-
er driving safety when braking and good
handling.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres. WINTER TYRES
These tyres are specially designed for dri-
ving on snow and ice, to be fitted in
replacement of those fitted on the car.
Use winter tyres of the same size as nor-
mal tyres provided on the car.
Alfa Romeo Authorised Services will be
pleased to advise you on the choice of the
tyre most suited to the use the Customer
intends to make of it.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and specifications of winter
tyres, follow the instructions given in the
“Technical Specifications” chapter.
The winter features of these tyres are
reduced considerably when the tread
depth is below 4 mm. In this case, they
should be replaced.
Due to the winter features, under normal
conditions of use or long motorway jour-
neys, the performance of these tyres is
lower than that of normal tyres.
SNOW CHAINS

ance with local regulations.
For versions 1.8 T. SPARK, 2.0
JTS and 1.9 JTD, tyre 195/60 R15 can

yond the tyre profile of 12 mm), whereas

205/55 ZR16 - 215/45 R17 - 215/45

snow chains.
On version 3.2
V6, tyres 215/45
R17” and 215/45 ZR 17” can only be fit-
ted with chains of the spiker spider type
whereas tyres 225/45 ZR17 - 225/40
ZR18 cannot be fitted with snow chains.
