Generalinformation
The tire characteristics and tire inflation presj
sure influence the following:'yThe service life of the tires.'yRoad safety.'yDriving comfort.
Safetyinformation
WARNING
A tire with low or missing tire inflation
pressure impacts handling, such as steering
and braking response. There is a risk of an acj
cident. Regularly check the tire inflation presj sure, and correct it as needed, e.g., twice amonth and before a long trip.'

M+S
Winter and all-season tires with better cold
weather performance than summer tires.
Tiretread Summertires
Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than
0.12 inches/3 mm.
There is an increased risk of hydroplaning if the tire tread depth is less than 0.12 injches/3 mm.
Wintertires
Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than
0.16 inches/4 mm.
Below a tread depth of 0.16 inches/4 mm, tires are less suitable for winter operation.
Minimumtreaddepth
Wear indicators are distributed around thetire's circumference and have the legally rejquired minimum height of 0.063 inj
ches/1.6 mm.
They are marked on the side of the tire with
TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Tiredamage
Generalinformation
Inspect your tires regularly for damage, foreign
objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as well as debris, curbs and other obstaclescan cause serious damage to wheels, tires andsuspension parts. This is more likely to occurwith low-profile tires, which provide less cushj
ioning between the wheel and the road. Be
careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your
speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped
with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or other vehicle malj functions:'yUnusual vibrations while driving.'yUnusual handling such as a strong tenjdency to pull to the left or right.
Damage can, e.g., be caused by driving over
curbs, road damage, or similar things.
Safetyinformation WARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation
pressure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There is a risk of an accident. If tiredamage is suspected while driving, immedijately reduce speed and stop. Have wheels andtires checked. For this purpose, drive carefully
to the nearest dealerss service center or anj
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Have vehicle towed or transported as needed.'
