Observe the following when selecting, installing
and replacing tires:
= Only use tires and wheels of the same type
(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires) and the same make.
= Only install wheels of the same size on one
axle (left and right).
It is only permissible to install a different
wheel size in the event of a flat tire in order to drive to the specialist workshop.
= Only install tires of the correct size onto the
wheels.

The wear patterns on the front and rear wheelsdiffer:
= Front wheels wear more on the shoulder of
the tire
= Rear wheels wear more at the center of the
tire
Do not drive with tires that have too little tread depth. This significantly reduces traction on wet roads (hydroplaning).
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, rotate the wheels according to the
intervals in the tire manufacturer's warranty
book in your vehicle documents. If this is not
available, rotate the tires every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to 10,000 km),depending on the wear. Ensure that the direction
of rotation is maintained.
Observe the instructions and safety notes on
"Changing a wheel" when doing so
(  page 515).Notesonstoringwheels
When storing wheels, observe the following
notes:
= After removing wheels, store them in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place.
= Protect the tires from contact with oil, grease
or fuel.
