Operation
Tires and wheels
Tire rotation can be performed on vehi-
cles with tires of the same dimension all
around. If your vehicle is equipped with
tires of the same dimension all around,
tires can be rotated, observing a a front-
to-rear rotation pattern that will main-
tain the intended rotation (spinning) di-
rection of the tire (
page 364).
In some cases, such as when your vehicle
is equipped with mixed-size tires (differ-
ent tire dimension front vs. rear), tire ro-
tation is not possible.
If applicable to your vehicle's tire config-
uration, tires can be rotated according to
the tire manufacturer's recommended
intervals in the tire manufacturer's war-
ranty pamphlet located in your vehicle
literature portfolio. If none is available,
tires should be rotated every 3000 to
6000 miles (5000 to 10000 km), or soon-
er if necessary, according to the degree
of tire wear. The same rotation (spin-
ning) direction must be maintained
(
page 364).
Rotate tires before the characteristic tire
wear pattern becomes visible (shoulder
wear on front tires and tread center
wear on rear tires).
Thoroughly clean the mounting face of
wheels and brake disks, i.e. the inner side
of the wheels/tires, during each rotation.
Check for and ensure proper tire infla-
tion pressure, activating the tire inflation
pressure monitor if necessary.
For information on wheel change, see
the “Practical hints” section (
page 422)
and (
page 436).
Rotating tires
Warning! G
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the
tires are of the same dimension.
If your vehicle is equipped with mixed-size
tires (different tire dimensions front vs.
rear), tire rotation is not possible.
Warning! G
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. Wheels could become
loose if not tightened with a torque of
110 lb-ft (150 Nm).
Only use genuine Maybach wheel bolts
specified for your vehicle's rims.
!
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
inflation pressure monitor. Electronic
components are built into the wheel.
Do not use mounting tools in the area
of the valve as they could damage the
electronic components.
To prevent damage or incorrect in-
stallation, have the tires changed at
an authorized Maybach Studio.
