Before switching to different tyres or
wheels, seek advice on the technical
possibilities. We recommend that you

necessary mod ifications.
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, the electronic
speedom eter may require reprogramming
to ensure that the correct sp eed is
display ed.
Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroa dworthy .
Fitti ng new tyr es
Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are
z the same siz e
z the same design
z the same make
z and have the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the
direction of trav el. The rolling direction is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(such as when changing a ty re) should b e
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the d esign
properties of the tyre.
