SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, infla-
tion pressures and the specifications
of snow tyres, follow the instructions
given in paragraph “Wheels” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
The performance of these tyres is con-
siderably reduced when the tread
depth is less than 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.Due to their specific features, the per-
formance of snow tyres is much lower
than that of normal types in normal
conditions or long motorway
stretches. Limit performance accord-
ing the use for which they were ap-
proved.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are
used with a max speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger’s compartment, plainly
in the driver’s view which states the
max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of
tyres.The top speed of a “T”
type snow tyre is 190
km/h. Respect the highway code in
all cases.
