Snow tyres
E01002000725
The use of snow tyres is recommended for driving on snow and
ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the same
size and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50 % are no longer suitable for use
as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.NOTE●The laws and regulations concerning snow tyres (driving
speed, required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and follow
the laws and regulations in the area you intend to drive.
●If flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered
nuts when steel wheels are used.
CAUTION
!●If the tyres have arrows (A) indicating the correct
direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheels
on the left hand side of the vehicle and the front and
rear wheels on the right hand side of the vehicle sep-
arately. Keep each tyre on its original side of the
vehicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the
arrows point in the direction in which the wheels
will turn when the vehicle moves forward. Any tyre
whose arrow points in the wrong direction will not
perform to its full potential.

CAUTION
!●Avoid the combined use of different types of tyres.
Using different types of tyres can affect vehicle per-
formance and safety.

tyres and the legal speed limit.
