Example: 175/65 R 14 82H
175 = Nominal width (S, distance in mm
between sidewalls).
65 = Height/width ratio (H/S) in per-
centage.
R = Radial tyre.
14 = Rim diameter in inches (Ø).
82 = Load rate (capacity).
H = Maximum speed rating.
WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless ra-
dial carcass tyres. All approved tyres are
listed in the Log Book.
IMPORTANT In the event of discrepan-
cies between the information provided on
this “Owner handbook” and the “Log
book”, consider the specifications shown
in the log book only.
Respect the prescribed size to ensure
safety of the car in movement. Fit tyres
of the same make and type on all wheels.

TYRES RIM PROTECTOR fig. 5
If after-sale tyres with rim
protector are used (fig. 5)
and the car has integral cups fixed (by
springs) to the sheet wheel, DO NOT
fit wheel cups. The use of unsuitable
tyres and wheel cups could cause a
sudden pressure loss of the tyre.
