Tire Types - Alfa Romeo 4C spider User Manual

WARNING!
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sud-
den tire failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different
size may result in false speedometer and odom-
eter readings.

Tire Types

All Season Tires — If Equipped
All Season tires provide traction for all seasons
(Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter). Traction levels
may vary between different all season tires. All sea-
son tires can be identified by the M+S, M&S, M/S or
MS designation on the tire sidewall. Use all season
tires only in sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your
vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires — If Equipped
Summer tires provide traction in both wet and dry
conditions, and are not intended to be driven in snow
or on ice. If your vehicle is equipped with Summer
tires, be aware these tires are not designed for Winter
or cold driving conditions. Install Winter tires on your
vehicle when ambient temperatures are less than
40°F (5°C) or if roads are covered with ice or snow.
For more information, contact an authorized dealer.
Summer tires do not contain the all season designa-
tion or mountain/snowflake symbol on the tire side-
wall. Use Summer tires only in sets of four; failure to
do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of
your vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice conditions.
You could lose vehicle control, resulting in severe
injury or death. Driving too fast for conditions also
creates the possibility of loss of vehicle control.
Snow Tires
Some areas of the country require the use of snow tires
during the Winter. Snow tires can be identified by a
"mountain/snowflake" symbol on the tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires, se-
lect tires equivalent in size
and type to the original
equipment tires. Use snow
tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may ad-
versely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than
what was originally equipped with your vehicle and
should not be operated at sustained speeds over
75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds above 75 mph
(120 km/h) refer to original equipment or an autho-
rized tire dealer for recommended safe operating
speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pressures.
While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid
and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states
prohibit studded tires; therefore, local laws should
be checked before using these tire types.
