When tread depth is down to 1.6 mm measured in the tread groove next to

the wear indicator bar – the official permissible minimum tread depth has

been reached (in export countries this figure may differ).

Renewing wheels/tyres

Wheels and tyres are important design features. The wheels and

tyres approved by us should be used. They are specially matched

to the model concerned and contribute largely to the excellent

roadholding and safe driving characteristics.

• Fitting and repairing tyres requires expert knowledge and special

tools. This work may only be carried out by specialist personnel.

Because of the problems in disposing of old tyres and the specialised tools

and knowledge required, tyres should preferably be changed at a Technical

Service Centre.

• For safety reasons the tyres should be renewed in pairs and not

singly. The tyres with the deepest tread should always be on the

front wheels.

• You should only combine radial tyres of the same construction,

size (rolling circumference) and, as far as possible, the same tread

profile on all four wheels.
