Replacement of wheels and
tyres
Fitting Have fitting and balancing performed by a
Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Wheel and tyre combination The correct wheel and tyre combination and
rim designs for the vehicle can be consulted at
a Service Partner or a qualified specialist work‐
shop.
Incorrect wheel and tyre combinations will in‐
terfere with the proper functioning of various
systems, such as ABS and DSC.
To maintain good vehicle handling, always fit
tyres of the same make and tread pattern to all
wheels.
After a tyre has been damaged, fit the original
wheel and tyre combination again.
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are categorised as
unsuitable by the vehicle manufacturer can
damage parts of the vehicle, for example by
touching the bodywork as a result of toleran‐
ces, in spite of having the same nominal size.
Danger of accidents. Use wheels and tyres that
have been categorised as suitable for the re‐
spective vehicle type by the vehicle manufac‐
turer.◀Recommended makes of tyre
Certain makes of tyre are recommended by the
manufacturer of your vehicle depending on
tyre size. These can be seen by the asterisk on
the side wall of the tyre.
New tyres New tyres do not achieve their full road
grip immediately, for production reasons.
During the first 300 km, 200 miles, drive mod‐
erately.
Retreaded tyres The manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against the use of retreaded tyres.
WARNING
Retreaded tyres can have various tyre
carcasses. Their durability may be reduced
with increasing age. Danger of accidents. Do
not use retreaded tyres.◀
Winter tyres For operation on wintry carriageways, winter
tyres are recommended.
Although so-called all-season tyres with an M
+S label have better winter characteristics than
summer tyres, they do not normally match the
performance of winter tyres.
Maximum speed of winter tyres
If the vehicle is capable of speeds higher than
the speed permitted for the winter tyres, an in‐
formation sticker stating the maximum permit‐
