tread,
and
tread
wear.
Driving
over
rough
or
damaged
road
surfaces,
as
well
as
debris,
curbs
and
other
obstacles
can
cause
serious
damage
to
wheels,
tires
and
susj
pension
parts.
This
is
more
likely
to
occur
with
low-profile
tires,
which
provide
less
cushioning
between
the
wheel
and
the
road.
Be
careful
to
avoid
road
hazards
and
reduce
your
speed,
esj
pecially
if
your
vehicle
is
equipped
with
low-proj file
tires.
Indications
of
tire
damage
or
other
vehicle
malj
functions:
'xUnusual
vibrations.'xUnusual
tire
or
running
noises.'xUnusual
handling
such
as
a
strong
tendency
to
pull
to
the
left
or
right.
Damage
can
be
caused
by
the
following
situaj
tions,
for
instance:
'xDriving
over
curbs.'xRoad
damage.'xTire
inflation
pressure
too
low.'xVehicle
overloading.'xIncorrect
tire
storage.
Safety
information
WBSning
Damaged
tires
can
lose
tire
inflation
pressure,
which
can
lead
to
loss
of

control.
There is
a
risk
of
accident.
If
tire
damage
is
suspected
while
driving,
immediately
reduce
speed
and
stop.
Have
wheels
and

checked.
For
this
purpose,
drive

WBSning
Tires
can
become
damaged
by

General
information
You

or
anj
other
qualified
service
center
or

about
the
correct
wheel/tire
combination
and wheel
rim
versions
for
the
vehicle.
Safety
information
WBSning
Wheels
and
tires
which
are
not
suitable
for
your
vehicle
can
damage
parts
of
the
vehicle,
for
inj
stance
due
to
contact
with
the
body
due
to
tolj
erances
despite
the
same
official
size
rating.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
The
manufacj
turer
of
your
vehicle
strongly
suggests
that
you
use
wheels
and
tires
that
have
been
recomj
mended
by
the
vehicle
manufacturer
for
your
vehicle
type.
WBSning
Incorrect
wheel/tire
combinations
will
have
a
negative
impact
on
the
vehicle's
handling
and on
the
function
of
a
variety
of
systems,
such
asthe
ABS
Anti-lock
Brake
System
or

Stability
Control.
There
is
a
risk
of
accijdent.
To
maintain
good
handling
and
vehicle
response,
use
only
tires
with
a
single
tread
conj
figuration
from
a
single
manufacturer.
The manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends
that
you
use
wheels
and
tires
that
have
been
recj
ommended
by
the
vehicle
manufacturer
for
your
vehicle
type.
Following
tire
damage,
have
the

as
soon
as
possible.
Recommended
tire
brands
For
each
tire
size,
the
manufacturer
of
the
vehij cle
recommends
certain
tire
brands.
The
tire
brands
can
be
identified
by
a
star
on
the
tire
sidewall.
New
tires Tire
traction
is
not
optimal
due
to
manufacturing
circumstances
when
tires
are
brand-new;
they
achieve
their
full
traction
potential
after
a
break-in time.
Drive
conservatively
for
the

WBSning
Retreaded
tires
can
have
different
tire
casing structures.
With

for
operating
on winter
roads.
Although
so-called
