WARNING Risk of accident wi thhigh
per form ance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with
th e optimised tyre compound, means that
th erisk of skidding or hydroplaning on wet
ro ads is inc reased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. #
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your
driving style accordingly. #
Use M+S tyres at outside temp eratures
of less than 50 °F. Obse
rveth efo llowing when selecting, fitting and
re placing tyres:
R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only fit tyres of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
