Safety information
Warning
Wheels and tires that are not suitable for
the vehicle can damage parts of the vehi-
cle. There is a risk of accident. The vehicle
manufacturer recommends that you use only
wheels and tires that have been approved as
suitable for the vehicle type.
Warning
Mounted steel wheels can cause technical
problems, for instance unexpected loosening
of the lug bolts and damage to the brake
disks. There is a risk of accident. Do not
mount steel wheels.
Warning
Unsuitable wheel/tire combinations will im-
pair vehicle handling and a number of sys-
tem functions, such as the Antilock Braking
System or Dynamic Stability Control. There is
a risk of accident. The vehicle manufacturer

tires that have been approved as suitable
for the vehicle type. Following tire damage,

Wheels and tires
Warning
Unsuitable wheel studs, such as single-sec-
tion wheel studs, may loosen or come off.
The wheel may come loose during driving.
There is a risk of accident. Use only two-sec-
tion wheel studs that have been categorized
as suitable for the respective wheel type by
the manufacturer of the vehicle.
Recommended tire brands
Tire types are developed for each vehicle and
optimized specifically for the individual require-
ments of that vehicle, e.g.:
▷ Handling.
▷ Comfort.
▷ Noise characteristics.
Specially developed tires are marked with
a star on the tire sidewall. After replacing
wheels and tires, the vehicle manufacturer rec-
ommends using star-marked tires again. The
vehicle manufacturer recommends that you
use tires of the same make and tread design.
New tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur-
ing circumstances when tires are brand new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
