Recommended tire brands
Tire types are developed for each vehicle and
optimized specifically for the individual require-
ments of that vehicle, e.g.:
▷ Handling.
▷ Comfort.
▷ Noise characteristics.
Specially developed tires are marked with
a star on the tire sidewall. After replacing
wheels and tires, the vehicle manufacturer rec-
ommends using star-marked tires again. The
vehicle manufacturer recommends that you
use tires of the same make and tread design.
New tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur-
ing circumstances when tires are brand new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreated tires can have different tire casing
structures. With advanced age the service life
can be limited. There is a risk of accident.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec-
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Maximum speed
Safety information
Warning
If the maximum permissible speed of your
mounted tires is exceeded, the tires may be
damaged. There is a risk of accident. Do not
exceed the maximum permissible speed of
the tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed of the winter tires,
the maximum permissible speed must be indi-
cated with a sign placed in the field of vision.
The info label is available from an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Winter tires
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Winter tires can be identified by the moun-
tain/snowflake icon and the letters M+S on the
tire sidewall.
So-called all-season tires with the M+S des-
ignation but no mountain/snowflake icon per-
form better in winter than summer tires. As a
rule, all-season tires do not perform the same
as winter tires.
