MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties)
General notes
When using tires with run-flat characteristics,
you can continue to drive your vehicle even if
there is a total loss of pressure in one or more
tires. The affected tire must not show any
clearly visible damage.
You can recognize tires with run-flat charac-
teristics by the MOExtended marking which
appears on the tire sidewall. You will find this
marking next to the tire size designation, the
load-bearing capacity and the speed index
( page 293).
Y
Tires with run-flat characteristics may only be
used in conjunction with an active tire pres-
sure monitor.
