Sport tires

Sport tires (ultra high performance tires) are
approved for use on public highways and comply
with all statutory requirements and safety criteria.
The design of the tire is also geared towards use
on racing circuits (driver safety training courses,
sports driving schools, Club Sport events) and
provides distinct advantages here in terms of dry
grip and wear compared to conventional road
tires.
The major features are a reduced tread depth and
a special tread pattern and carcass.
The design features of this sports tire result
in the following effects compared with other
summer tires when used under normal
driving conditions:
– Sport tires have a smaller tread depth, and
thus can reach their wear limit sooner.
As with all tires, the attainable mileage
depends on the individual driving style and the
conditions of use.
– Exercise caution when driving on wet roads,
paying special attention to hydroplaning
situations (stagnant water, puddles, lane
grooves). Sport tires have a lower tread depth
than normal tires and you must therefore adapt
speed accordingly when driving on wet
surfaces.
– The driver's skill level must be commensurate
with the vehicle performance levels in the
upper range limits, due to increased safety
risks in the upper range limits.
f
Sport tires are not suitable for use in cold,
snowy or icy conditions. At outside
temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) change to
snow tires.

Notify anyone using your car of these
