All four tyres should be the same (brand and
track) to ensure greater safety when driving and
braking and better driveability. Remember that
you should not change the rotation direction of the
tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it
is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for
"H" tyres. The highway code speed limits
must however always be complied with.

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A 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, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in
section "Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is
less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to their specific features, the performance of
snow tyres is much lower than that of normal
types in normal conditions or long motorway
stretches. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a
notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed allowed by
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
