Tyres And Wheels - SMART Fortwo coupe 2007 Operating Instructions Manual

Please note:
!
For safety reasons, smart recommends ty
res that have been approved by smart or ty
res of the same standard. These tyres have
been chosen to suit control systems such as
abs and esp. If you use other tyres, smart is
unable to accept any responsibility for dama
ge resulting from their use. Information on
this is available from any qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a smart center.
Only use wheels and tyres approved for the
smart fortwo. If you use other wheels, smart is
unable to accept any responsibility for adver
se changes (e. g. to noise emissions, consump
tion or handling) or damage.
Dimensional deviations and a change in the
way the tyres are compressed under load du
ring operation could in addition cause them to
rub against the body or axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyre or vehicle.
!
Retreaded tyres are not tested or recom
mended by smart. The preliminary stages of
damage cannot always be detected on tyres
that are being retreaded. smart is therefore
unable to guarantee driving safety with re
treaded tyres.

and the use of spacer and brake dust rings
are not permissible. In both cases the vehic
