General information

The approved wheel/tire combinations are listed in:

Vehicle Owner's Manual  .

For safety reasons, tires should be replaced not individually but in pairs for one axle at a time or for both axles together.

The tires with the deeper tread should always be installed to the front wheels.

It is recommended to use tires of the same make, design and tread type on all wheels.

When installing a new wheel rim or tire, always make sure to replace the rubber valve stem.

Tires should be installed with the DOT marking facing outward. In the case of tires with a directional tread pattern, this only applies to the left-hand side of the vehicle.

If using tires with a directional tread pattern, the wheel/tire combination for the spare wheel should be the same as for the wheels on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
