an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
Have the vehicle towed or transported as
needed. Do not repair damaged tires, but
have them replaced.
Warning
The wheels, tires and chassis components
can become damaged when driving over
curbs, road damage, or other obstacles.
Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-
section. The smaller the tire cross-section,
the higher the risk of tire damage. There is
a risk of accident, injury, or property dam-
age. If possible, avoid driving over curbs,
road damage or other obstacles, or drive
over them slowly and carefully.
Exchanging wheels and tires
Mounting and wheel balancing
Have the wheel mounted and balanced by
an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.
Suitable wheels and tires
General information
Only certain wheel/tire combinations are
suitable depending on vehicle and equip-
ment. The vehicle manufacturer determines
wheel/tire combinations on the basis of the
following criteria:
– Tire size, e.g., tire width, aspect ratio.
– Wheel size, e.g., rim diameter, offset.
For more information on wheel/tire combi-
nations and special equipment, contact an
authorized service center or another quali-
fied service center or repair shop.
Safety information
Warning
Wheels and tires that are not suitable
for the vehicle can damage parts of the
vehicle. There is a risk of accident, in-
jury, or property damage. The vehicle man-
ufacturer recommends that you use only
wheels and tires that have been recom-
mended for the vehicle type.
Warning
Wheel/tire combinations that are not suit-
able for the vehicle can affect vehicle han-
dling and a number of system functions,
e.g.,the Antilock Braking System or Dy-
namic Stability Control. There is a risk of
accident, injury, or property damage. The
manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
that you use wheels and tires that have
been recommended by the vehicle manu-
facturer for the vehicle type. Following
tire damage, have the original wheel/tire
combination remounted on the vehicle as
soon as possible.
Recommended tire brands
Tire types are developed for each vehicle
and optimized specifically for the individual
requirements of that vehicle, e.g.:
