RIMS AND TYRESPressed steel or alloy rims.
Radial Tubeless tyres.
The Log book shows all the homologated
tyres.
WARNINGIn the event of any discrep-
ancies between this Handbook and the ve-
hicle Log Book, only the latter should be con-
sidered.While the specified dimensions remain the
same, for driving safety, the vehicle must
be fitted with tyres of the same brand and
type on all wheels.TYRE INFLATION PRESSURES COLD

CORRECT TYRE READING(fig. 5)
Below are the instructions necessary to
know the meaning of the code stamped on
the tyre.
The code may be like one of the examples
given below.Load index (capacity)

Example:
205/60 R 15 91V
or:
215/45 ZR 17
205= Nominal width (S, distance
in mm between the sides).
60= Percentage height/width (H/S)
ratio.
R= Radial tyre.
ZR= Radial tyre with speed above
240 kph.
15= Rim diameter in inches. (Ø).
91= Load index (capacity), e.g. 91 =
615 kg. Not present in ZR tyres.
V, Z= Maximum speed index. In ZR tyres
the speed index Z is before the R.

CORRECT RIM READINGBelow are the instructions necessary to
know the meaning of the code stamped on
the rim, as shown in fig. 5.
Example:
6.5 J x 16 H2 ET 436.5= rim width in inches (1)
J= rim drop centre outline (side
projection where the tyre bead
rests (2)
16= rim nominal diameter in inches
(corresponds to diameter of the
tyre to be mounted) (3= Ø)
H2= “hump” shape and number (re-
lief on the circumference hold-
ing the Tubeless tyre bead on
the rim)
ET 43= camber angle (distance be-
tween disk/rim line and wheel
rim centre line) Maximum speed index
Q= up to 160 km/h.
R= up to 170 km/h.
S= up to 180 km/h.
T= up to 190 km/h.
U= up to 200 km/h.
H= up to 210 km/h.
V= up to 210 km/h.
ZR= up to 240 km/h.
W= up to 270 km/h.
Y= up to 300 km/h.Maximum speed index for snow
tyres
Q M + S= up to 160 kph.
T M + S= up to 190 kph.
H M + S= up to 210 kph.

(*) The toe-in value, primes to mm conversion, is always calculated taking into account a 15" rim regardless of rims actually used. Should it be impossible to
set the 15" rim at the test bench, refer to primes value. The toe-in value, tolerance included, shall always be evenly distributed between the two wheels.
