RIMS AND TYRES
Alloy rims or steel.
Tubeless tyres with radial carcass.
The homologated tyres are listed in
the log book.
IMPORTANTIn the event of dis-
crepancies between information
given in the Owner Handbook and
that shown in the Log Book, refer to
the latter one.
To ensure safety of the car in
movement, it must be fitted with
tyres of specified size and of the
same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANTDo not use inner
tubes with tubeless tyres. CORRECT TYRE READING
Below, please find the instructions
needed to understand the meaning
of the code stamped on the tyre, as
shown in fig. 6.
The code may be in one of the ways
given in the example.
Example:
225/50 R 17 94 W
or
225/50 ZR 17 94W

CORRECT RIM
READING
Below, please find the instructions
needed to understand the meaning
of the code stamped on the rim, as
shown in fig. 6.
Example:7 J x 16 H2 39
7= 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 diam-
eter of the tyre to be mount-
ed) (3=Ø)
H2= hump shape and number
(relief on the circumference
holding the tubeless tyre
bead on the rim)
39= wheel camber (distance
between rim point of contact
and wheel rim centre line)
