Obser vethefo llowing points when selecting,
ins talling and replacing tires:
R Use only tires and wheels of the same type,
design (winter tires, all-season tire) and
make.
R Only ins tall wheels of the same size and tread
design on one axle (left and right).
It is only permissible toins tall a dif fere nt

order todrive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only ins tall tires of the cor rect size onto the

R Only use tires with the same tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e ins talled tires.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum per‐
missible speed, this must be indicated in an
appropriate label in the driver's field of vision.
R Break in new tires at moderate speeds forthe
