per form ance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with
th e optimised tyre compound, means that
th erisk of skidding or hydroplaning on wet
ro ads is inc reased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. 0007
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your
driving style accordingly. 0007
Use M+S tyres at outside temp eratures
of less than 50 °F. Obse
rveth efo llowing when selecting, fitting and
re placing tyres:
R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle

or all-season tyres mar ked M+S for all
wheels.
Wi nter tyres bearing the004D snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pro‐
vide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
