Specially developed tires are marked with
a star on the tire sidewall. After replacing
wheels and tires, the vehicle manufacturer
recommends using star-marked tires again.
The vehicle manufacturer recommends that
you use tires of the same make and tread
design.
New tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufac-
turing circumstances when tires are brand
new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreated tires can have different tire cas-
ing structures. With advanced age the
service life can be limited. There is a risk
of accident, injury, or property damage.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not
recommend the use of retreaded tires.

Safety information
Warning
If the maximum permissible speed of your
mounted tires is exceeded, the tires may

Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is
higher than the permissible speed of the
winter tires, the maximum permissible
speed must be indicated with a sign placed

another qualified service center or repair
shop.

Winter tires can be identified by the moun-
tain/snowflake icon and the letters M+S on
the tire sidewall.

ignation but no mountain/snowflake icon
perform better in winter than summer tires.
As a rule, all-season tires do not perform the
same as winter tires.
Changing runflat tires
When changing from runflat tires to stand-
ard tires, it must be ensured that the vehicle
contains an emergency wheel or tire mobi-

authorized service center or another quali-
