Safety information

Warning

Checking using tire inflation pressure

specifications in the tire inflation

pressure table

The tire inflation pressure specifications in

the tire inflation pressure table only relate

to cold tires or tires at the same tempera-

ture as the ambient temperature.

A tire with too little or no tire inflation

pressure may heat up significantly and

sustain damage. This will have a negative

impact on aspects of handling, such as

steering and braking response. There is a

risk of accident. Regularly check the tire

inflation pressure, and correct it as

needed, for instance twice a month and be-

fore a long trip.

Only check the tire inflation pressure levels

when the tires are cold, i.e.:

–

Driving range of max. 1.25 miles/2 km

has not been exceeded.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

based on the wear rate of the tire when

tested under controlled conditions on a

specified government test course. E.g., a

tire graded 150 would wear one and one-

half, 1 g, times as well on the government

course as a tire graded 100. The relative

performance of tires depends upon the ac-

tual conditions of their use, however, and

may depart significantly from the norm due

to variations in driving habits, service prac-

tices and differences in road characteristics

and climate.

Traction

Recommendation

Regardless of the tire tread, replace tires at

least every 6 years.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest,

are AA, A, B, and C.

controlled conditions on specified govern-

ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction per-

formance.

M+S

Winter and all-season tires with better cold

weather performance than summer tires.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is

based on straight-ahead braking traction

tests, and does not include acceleration,

cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction

characteristics.

Tire tread

Summer tires

Do not drive with a tire tread of less than

0.12 in/3 mm, otherwise there is an in-

creased risk of hydroplaning.

Temperature

The temperature grades are A, the highest,

B, and C, representing the tire's resistance

to the generation of heat and its ability to

dissipate heat when tested under controlled

conditions on a specified indoor laboratory

test wheel. Sustained high temperature can

cause the material of the tire to degenerate

and reduce tire life, and excessive tempera-

ture can lead to sudden tire failure. The

grade C corresponds to a level of perform-

ance which all passenger car tires must

meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band A

represent higher levels of performance on

the laboratory test wheel than the minimum

required by law.

Winter tires

Do not drive with a tire tread of less than

0.16 in/4 mm, as such tires are less suitable

for winter operation.

Minimum tread depth

Warning

Wear indicators are distributed around the

tire's circumference and have the legally re-

quired minimum height of 0.063 in-

ches/1.6 mm.

The temperature grade for this tire is es-

tablished for a tire that is properly inflated

and not overloaded. Excessive speed, un-

derinflation, or excessive loading, either

separately or in combination, can cause

heat buildup and possible tire failure.

The positions of the wear indicators are

marked on the tire sidewall with TWI, Tread

Wear Indicator.

RSC – Run-flat tires

Run-flat tires, refer to page 233, are labeled

or transported as needed. Do not repair

damaged tires, but have them replaced.

Tire damage

General information

Inspect your tires regularly for damage, for-

eign objects lodged in the tread, and tread

wear.

Warning

Tires can become damaged by driving over

obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at

high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller

tire cross-section. The smaller the tire

cross-section, the higher the risk of tire

damage. There is a danger of accidents and

property damage. If possible, avoid driving

over objects or road conditions that may

damage tires, or drive over them slowly

and carefully.

Driving over rough or damaged road surfa-

ces, as well as debris, curbs and other obsta-

cles can cause serious damage to wheels,

tires and suspension parts. This is more

likely to occur with low-profile tires, which

provide less cushioning between the wheel

and the road. Be careful to avoid road haz-

ards and reduce your speed, especially if

your vehicle is equipped with low-profile

tires.

Indications of tire damage or other vehicle

malfunctions:

Changing wheels and tires

–

Unusual vibrations.

Unusual tire or running noises.

Mounting and wheel balancing

Unusual handling such as a strong ten-

dency to pull to the left or right.

Have mounting and tire and wheel balanc-

ing carried out by a dealer’s service center

or another qualified service center or repair

shop.

Damage can be caused by the following sit-

uations, for instance:

–

Driving over curbs.

Road damage.

Light-alloy rim MINI Electric Corona

Spoke 2 Tone

Tire inflation pressure too low.

Vehicle overloading.

Incorrect tire storage.

Safety information

Warning

Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pres-

sure, which can lead to loss of vehicle con-

trol. There is a risk of accident. If tire dam-

age is suspected while driving,

immediately reduce speed and stop. Have

wheels and tires checked. For this pur-

pose, drive carefully to the nearest dealer’s

service center or another qualified service

A balancing weight is required for wheel

Recommended tire brands

Wheel and tire combination

General information

You can ask the dealer's service center or

another qualified service center or repair

shop about the correct wheel/tire combina-

tion and wheel rim versions for the vehicle.

Safety information

For each tire size, the manufacturer of the

vehicle recommends certain tire brands.

The tire brands can be identified by a star

on the tire sidewall.

Warning

Wheels and tires which are not suitable

for your vehicle can damage parts of the

vehicle, for instance due to contact with

the body due to tolerances despite the

same official size rating. There is a risk of

an accident. The manufacturer of your ve-

hicle strongly suggests that you use

wheels and tires that have been recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer for

your vehicle type.

New tires

Tire traction is not optimal due to manufac-

turing circumstances when tires are brand-

new; they achieve their full traction poten-

tial after a break-in time.

Drive conservatively for the first

200 miles/300 km.

Retreaded tires

Warning

Incorrect wheel/tire combinations will

have a negative impact on the vehicle's

handling and on the function of a variety

of systems, such as the ABS Antilock Brak-

ing System or DSC Dynamic Stability Con-

trol. There is a risk of accident. To main-

tain good handling and vehicle response,

use only tires with a single tread configu-

ration from a single manufacturer. The

manufacturer of the vehicle recommends

that you use wheels and tires that have

been recommended by the vehicle manu-

facturer for your vehicle type. Following

tire damage, have the original wheel/tire

Retreaded tires can have different tire cas-

ing structures. With advanced age the

service life can be limited. There is a risk

of an accident. The manufacturer of your

vehicle does not recommend the use of re-

treaded tires.

The manufacturer of the vehicle does not

recommend the use of retreaded tires.

Storage

MOBILITY

Winter tires

Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and

dark place.

Winter tires are recommended for operat-

ing on winter roads.

Always protect tires against all contact with

oil, grease, and solvents.

Although so-called all-season M+S tires pro-

vide better winter traction than summer

tires, they usually do not provide the same

level of performance as winter tires.

Do not leave tires in plastic bags.

Remove dirt from wheels or tires.

Maximum speed of winter tires

If the maximum speed of the vehicle is

higher than the permissible speed for the

winter tires, then attach a label showing the

permissible maximum speed in the field of

view. The label is available from a dealer's

service center or another qualified service

center or repair shop.

Run-flat tires

Concept

Run-flat tires permit continued driving un-

der restricted conditions even in the event

of a complete loss of tire inflation pressure.

With winter tires mounted, observe and do

not exceed the permissible maximum speed.

General information

The wheels are composed of tires that are

self-supporting to a limited degree.

Changing runflat tires

For your own safety, use only runflat tires.

Further information is available from a deal-

er's service center or another qualified serv-

ice center or repair shop.

The support of the sidewall allows the tire

to remain drivable to a restricted degree in

the event of a tire inflation pressure loss.

Follow the instructions for continued driv-

ing with a flat tire.

Rotating wheels between axles

Different wear patterns can occur on the

front and rear axles depending on individual

driving conditions. The tires can be rotated

in pairs between the axles to achieve even

wear. Further information is available from

a dealer's service center or another qualified

service center or repair shop. After rotating,

check the tire pressure and correct, if

needed.

Safety information

Warning

The vehicle handles differently when a

run-flat tire has insufficient or no tire

pressure; for instance, reduced lane stabil-

ity when braking, braking distances are

longer and the self-steering properties will

change. There is a risk of accident. Drive

moderately and do not exceed a speed of

50 mph/80 km/h.

Storing tires

Tire inflation pressure

Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation

pressure indicated on the side wall of the

tire.
