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.

앫 Only use sets of tires and rims of the
same type and make.
앫 Tires must be of the correct size for
the rim.
앫 Break in new tires for approximately
60 miles (100 km) at moderate
speeds.
앫 Regularly check the tires and rims for
damage. Dented or bent rims can
cause tire inflation pressure loss and
damage to the tire beads.
앫 If vehicle is heavily loaded, check tire
inflation pressure and correct as
required.
앫 Do not allow your tires to wear down
too far. Adhesion properties on wet
roads are sharply reduced at tread
depths of less than
1
/
8
in (3 mm).
앫 When replacing individual tires, you
should mount new tires on the front
wheels first (on vehicles with same-
sized wheels all around).
Regularly check your tire inflation pres-
sure at least once a month. For more in-
formation on checking tire inflation
pressure, (
컄 page 319).
Tires and wheels
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:
앫 The wheel brakes or suspension com-
ponents can be damaged.
앫 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.
Retreaded tires are not tested or recom-
mended by us for use on Maybach vehicles,
since previous damage cannot always be
recognized on retreads. The operating
safety of the vehicle cannot be assured
when such tires are used.
Important guidelines
Tire care and maintenance
Warning! G
Regularly check the tires for damage. Dam-
aged tires can cause tire inflation pressure
loss. As a result, you could lose control of
your vehicle.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have
sustained damage, replace them.
