Tires and wheels
See an authorized Maybach Studio for
information on tested and recommend-
ed rims and tires for summer and winter
operation. They can also offer advice
concerning tire service and purchase.
Retreaded tires are not tested or recom-
mended by us for use on Maybach vehi-
cles, since previous damage cannot
always be recognized on retreads. We
can therefore not assure the operating
safety of the vehicle when such tires are
used.
Use only sets of tires and rims of the
same type and make.
Tires must be of the correct size for
the rim.
Break in new tires for approximately
60 miles (100 km) at moderate
speeds.
Regularly check the tires and rims for
damage.
If vehicle is heavily loaded, check tire
pressure and correct as required.
Do not allow your tires to wear down
too far. Adhesion properties on wet
roads are sharply reduced at tread
depths under
1
/
8
in (3 mm).
When replacing individual tires, you
should mount new tires on the front
wheels first (on vehicles with same-
sized wheels all around).
Warning! G
Replace rims or tires with the same desig-
nation, manufacturer and type as shown
on the original part. See an authorized
Maybach Studio for further information. If
incorrectly sized rims and tires are mount-
ed:
The wheel brakes or suspension com-
ponents can be damaged
The correct operating clearance of the
wheels and the tires are no longer
guaranteed
Warning! G
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have
sustained damage, replace them.
When replacing rims, use only genuine
Maybach wheel bolts specified for the par-
ticular rim type. Failure to do so can result
in the bolts loosening and possibly an acci-
dent.
