Tubeless radial tyres may only be fitted to rims with a safety
hump feature on the shoulder.
If the wheel and tyre combinations listed are used, the asso‐
ciated tyre inflation pressures must be adhered to. The tyre
inflation pressure for summer tyres can be found on the sticker
on the inside of the tank flap or in the tables of the individual
vehicles.
•
Sufficient clearance to the wheels and tyres at parts of the
wheel housing, suspension and braking system is assured if
the notes and specifications established in the parts certificate
are observed in all operating conditions.
•
•
Unless otherwise stated, snow chains may only be fitted to the
drive wheels.
The same sized wheels and tyres must be used at the front
and rear of the vehicle. On vehicles with all-wheel drive, tyres
must be of the same manufacturer and have the same tread
profile.

Additional wheel housing extensions

(flaps)
For technical reasons some vehicles require wheel housing ex‐
tensions (flaps) on the wing or bumper -arrows- when using
certain wheel and tyre combinations.
Please check if there is a requirement to remove the flaps.
The information is located in the overview table for the respective
vehicle.
2.4
„Series 80“ tyres
Tyres of the „80“ series (e.g. 145/80 R 13 74 S) will replace the
„82“ series (e.g. 145/82 R 13 74 S). Legislation stipulates that „82“
series tyres may be replaced by „80“ series tyres without having
been entered in the vehicle documents.
The condition for this is that the „80“ series tyres have the same
width are of the same type – cross-ply or radial belted – and have
the same or higher load index.
If only „80“ series tyres are entered in the vehicle documents, „82“
series tyres may only be used if an entry has been made in the
vehicle documents.
