Tires must also be replaced when
their tread depth has worn down
near to 3 mm. The image shows
where the tread depth can be found.
Caution

greater then 1.6 mm. This

drifting is greater when the
tires are worn.
Note
When replacing, always use tires of
the same brand and dimensions.
Preferably replace all tires of same
axle at the same time.
Different Tire and Wheel
Types
If tires of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may
be necessary to reprogram the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tire pressure and make other
vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tire
size, have the label with tire
pressures replaced.

Use of unsuitable tires or wheels
may lead to accidents and will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.

Warning
Do not use different size and type
of tires and wheels from those
originally installed on the vehicle.

performance of the vehicle.

rollover and serious injury. When
replacing tires, be sure to install
all four tires and wheels of the
same size, type, tread, brand and
loadcarrying capacity. The use of
any other tire size or type may
seriously affect ride, handling,
ground and body clearance,
stopping distance and
speedometer reliability.
Wheel Covers
Wheel covers and tires that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tire combination
requirements must be used.
