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, injury,
and property damage. 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.
Changing runflat tires
When changing from runflat tires to standard
tires, it must be ensured that the vehicle con-
tains an emergency wheel or tire mobility kit.
For more information, contact an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Wheel change between axles
Different tread wear patterns can occur on the
front and rear axles depending on individual
driving conditions. The tires can be rotated in
pairs between the axles to achieve even abra-
sion. For more information, contact an author-
ized service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop. After changing a wheel,
check the tire pressure and correct as neces-
sary.
Storing tires
Do not exceed the maximum tire pressure
specified on the tire sidewall, also when storing
tires.
When storing tires, note the following:
▷ Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and
dark place.
▷ Protect tires from coming into contact with
oil, grease, and solvents.
▷ Do not leave the tires in plastic bags.
▷ Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Runflat tires
Principle
Runflat tires permit continued driving under
limited conditions even in the event of a com-
plete tire pressure loss.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup-
porting to a limited degree and may also in-
clude special rims.
