Wheel Covers
Wheel covers and tires that are factory
approved for the respective vehicle and
comply with all of the relevant wheel
and tire combination requirements
must be used.
If the wheel covers and tires used are
not factory approved, the tires must not
have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
Warning
Use of unsuitable tires or wheel
covers could lead to sudden pressure
loss and thereby accidents.
Tire Changing
Mixing tires could cause you to lose
control while driving.
If you mix tires of different sizes,
brands, or types (radial and bias-belted
tires), the vehicle may not handle
properly, and you could have a crash.
Using tires of different sizes, brands, or
types may also cause damage to your
vehicle. Be sure to use the correct size,
brand, and type of tires on all wheels.

n
