When fitting new tires or changing tires: Please observe the chapter “TIRES/WHEELS” on Page 297.Tire and rim sizes
Extensive tests are performed before specific tires and wheels are approved by Porsche. Your Porsche
dealer has information about approved tires and wheels and is happy to assist you.
If aftermarket tires and/or wheels are installed which are not approved by Porsche, the vehicle’s roada-
bility and handling characteristics might be impaired. Since Porsche has no data on such combinations,
Porsche cannot stand behind the safety or durability of these aftermarket combinations.
Please observe the chapter “SNOW CHAINS” on Page 308.
