WHEELS AND TYRES

GENERAL INFORMATION
211) 212) 213)
Take the following precautions to
prevent damage to the tyres:
(see
avoid braking suddenly, racing starts
and violent impact against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles and driving
for extended periods on uneven road
surfaces;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tread wear;
every 6200/9300 miles (10000/15000
km) switch the tyres, keeping them on
the same side of the car in order not to
change the rotation direction (if the tyres
09056V0001EM
are the "one-way" type);
tyres age even if they are not used
much. In any event, have the tyres
checked by specialised technicians if
they have been fitted for longer than 6
years.
SNOW CHAINS
93)
Rear-Wheel Drive and All-wheel drive
versions
It is possible to fit 0.5 in (13 mm) chains
on all the tyres except for R20.
QV version
It is possible to put chains on the rear
285/40 R20 tyre (winter tyre size).
Avoid using traditional chains as
they can damage the braking system
if not installed correctly, thereby
compromising the car's safety.
We strongly advise using zero-clearance
chains and to use equipment proposed
by the Dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
Warnings
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that
of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the rear wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few feet/meters have
been driven.
WARNING Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the car.
WARNING Using different size or
type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between
front and rear axle may adversely
affect car driveability, with the risk of
losing control of the car and resulting
accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE ROTATION
