RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless radial carcass tyres. All ap-
proved tyres are listed in the Log Book.
IMPORTANT In the event of discrepancies between the information
provided in this Owner’s handbook and the Log book, consider
the specifications shown in the log book only.
Respect the prescribed size to ensure safety of the car when mov-
ing. Fit tyres of the same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm. Recheck pressure value with cold tyres.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the inflation pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
When running at speeds of higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full load inflation values.
