or another qualified service center or re-
pair shop. Have vehicle towed or trans-
ported as needed. Do not repair damaged
tires, but have them replaced.
Warning
Tires can become damaged by driving over
obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at
high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller
tire cross-section. The smaller the tire
cross-section, the higher the risk of tire
damage. There may be a risk of accidents
and risk of damage to property. If possible,
avoid driving over objects or road condi-
tions that may damage tires, or drive over
them slowly and carefully.
Exchanging wheels and tires
Mounting and wheel balancing
Have wheels and tires mounted and bal-
anced by an authorized service center or
another qualified service center or repair
shop.
