Observethefollowing when selecting, installingandreplacing tires:
ROnly use tires and wheels ofthe same type(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtendedtires) andthe same make.
ROnly install wheels ofthe same size on oneaxle (left andright).
It is only permissibletoinstall a differentwheel size intheevent of aflat tire in ordertodrivetothe specialistworkshop.
ROnly install tires ofthe correct size ontothewheels.
RVehicles with a tire pressure monitoringsystem:All installed wheels must be equip‐ped with functioning sensorsforthe tirepressure monitoring system.
RAttemperatures below 45 °F (7 °C), use win‐ter tires or all-season tires marked M+Sforall wheels.
Winter tires bearingthe Msnowflake sym‐bol in additiontothe M+S marking providethe best possible grip in wintryroad condi‐tions.
RFor M+S tires, only use tires withthe sametread.
RObservethe maximum permissible speedforthe M+S tires installed.
Ifthis is belowthevehicle's maximum speed,this must be indicatedbyan appropriatelabel inthe driver'sfield of vision.
RBreak in new tires at moderate speedsforthefirst 60 miles (100 km).
RReplacethe tires after sixyears atthe latest,regardless ofwear.
