Wheels - Alfa Romeo 159 Owner's Manual

WHEELS

RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless tyres
with radial carcass. The homologated
tyres are listed in the Log book.
IMPORTANT In the event of discrep-
ancies between the information provid-
ed on this "Owner's Manual" and the
"Log book", consider the specifications
shown in the log book only.
On cars fitted with four-wheel drive, all
four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to prevent damaging the 4-
WD system. The efficiency of the 4-WD
system however, is not jeopardized if
tyres with different wear conditions are
fitted.
Attaining to the prescribed size, to en-
sure safety of the car in movement, it
must be fitted with tyres of the same
make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with Tubeless tyres.
