General information about wheels and tires
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the tire information label on the inside of the fuel filler door.
All tires have a dimension designation.
Example
of designation:
215/ 55R16.
215 section width (mm)
55 relationship between section
height and width
R radial tire
16 wheel rim diameter (")
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling on dry and wet surfaces. It should be noted
however that the tires have been developed to give these features on snow/ ice- free surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all- season" tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree of road holding
on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all- season" rating.
However, for optimum road holding on icy or
snow-covered roads - we recommend suitable winter tires on all four wheels. When replacing tires, be sure that the
new tires are the same size designation, type (radial) and preferably from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels.
Otherwise there is a risk of altering the car's roadholding and handling characteristics.
NOTE:
When storing wheel/ tire assemblies (e. g. winter tires and wheels), either stand the assemblies upright, or
suspend them off the ground. Laying wheel/ tire assemblies on their sides for prolonged periods can cause wheel and/
or tire damage.
