4.4 Tyre prole depth and age of tyres
Replace your tyres as soon as the tread depth is only 1.6 mm.
Tyre manufacturers‘ recommendations
• Irrespective of their tread depth, tyres should be changed
every 6 years.
• Avoid hard impacts against curbs, potholes or other
obstacles.
Tyres age even if they are used seldom or not at all.
The minimum tread depth gives you only the barest amount of
safety while driving. The following recommendations must be
observed:
Safety limit in summer: 3.0 mm
Safety limit in winter: 4.0 mm
Tyres may never be exchanged from one side to the other,
i.e. from the right-hand side of the vehicle to the left-hand
side and vice versa.
