Winter tires
The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends winter tires for winter roads or at temperatures below +45 ℉/+7 ℃.
Although so-called all-season M+S tires do provide better winter traction than summer tires, they do not provide the same level of performance as winter tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then display a corresponding sign in the field of vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire specialist or from your service center.
Maximum speed for winter tires
Do not exceed the maximum speed for the
winter tires; otherwise, tire damage and accidents
can occur.◀
Run-flat tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. Your service center will be glad to advise you.
