WARNING
●
New tyres do not have maximum grip dur-
ing the first 600 km. Drive particularly care-
fully to avoid possible accidents.
●
Never drive with damaged tyres. This may
cause an accident.
●
If you notice unusual vibrations or if the
vehicle pulls to one side when driving, stop
the vehicle immediately and check the tyres.
●
Never use old tyres or those with an un-
known history of use.

Wheels and tyres
New wheels and tyres
It is best to have all wheels and tyres serviced
by a specialised workshop. There they have the
required knowledge, the special tools and the
corresponding spare parts.
●
Even winter tyres lose their grip on ice. If you
have installed new tyres, drive the first 600 km
carefully and at a moderate speed.
●
All four wheels must be fitted with tyres
of the same type, size (rolling circumference)
and, if possible, tread pattern.
●
When changing tyres, do not change just
one; change at least two on the same axle.
●
If you want to equip your vehicle with a com-
bination tyres and rims that are different to
those fitted in the factory, inform your special-
ised workshop before purchasing them
The sizes of the rims and tyres approved for
your vehicle are listed in the vehicle documen-
tation (e.g. EC Certificate of Conformity or
COC document
). The vehicle documentation
1)
varies depending on the country of residence.
If the type of spare wheel is different form
the normal wheels — e.g. in the case of win-
ter tyres or particularly wide tyres — the spare
wheel should only be used temporarily in the
event of a puncture, and the vehicle should be
driven with care. Refit the normal road wheel
as soon as possible.
In vehicles with four-wheel drive, the 4 wheels
must be fitted with tyres of the same brand,
type and tread so that the traction system is
not damaged by a difference in the number of
turns of the wheels. Therefore, in the event of
a puncture, only a spare wheel with the same
perimeter as normal tyres should be used.
Manufacturing date
The manufacturing date is also indicated on
the tyre sidewall (or on the inside face of the
wheel):
DOT ... 2220 ...
it means, for example, that the tyre was manu-
factured in the 22nd week of 2020.
WARNING
›››
●
Use only combinations of tyres and rims, as
well as suitable wheel nuts, approved by CU-
PRA. Otherwise the vehicle may be damaged,
causing an accident.
●
For technical reasons it is not possible to
use wheels of other vehicles; in some ca-
ses not even wheels from the same vehicle
model should be used.
●
Always ensure that the tyres you have
chosen have adequate clearance. When se-
lecting replacement tyres, do not rely en-
tirely on the nominal tyre size marked on the
tyre, since the nominal tyre size can differ
significantly depending on the manufacturer.
