INSPECT Check     
2 Assess wear pattern of tires on front and rear axle. IMPORTANT Greater wear at the shoulder compared to the center of the tire is normal for the front wheel-and-tire assemblies. On the tires of the rear wheel-and-tire assemblies the wear at the center of the tread depth is mostly somewhat more pronounced than at the tire shoulders. If an unusual wear pattern is present,
↓
rectify problem.
IMPORTANT After obtaining special order.		  
3 Assess tire tread depths of tires on front and rear axle. NOTES
For summer tires with a minimum tread depth of approx. 3 mm (0.12 inches) and for winter tires with a minimum tread depth of approx. 4 mm (0.16 inches), replace tires for safety reasons. Damage can otherwise occur.
IMPORTANT The major tread must exhibit a minimum tread depth of at least 1.6 mm (0.06 inches) along its entire circumference. Assess tire tread depth at point of greatest wear.		  
    IMPORTANT The cited tire tread depths apply for the Federal Republic of Germany. Observe other country-specific requirements accordingly.
If the minimum tread depth is reached,
↓
replace the tire.
