Tyres and wheels

Tyre condition

Check tyres at regular intervals, e.g. for:

 external damage,

 ageing,

 foreign bodies in the tread,

 cracks, bulges,

 onesided or irregular tread wear.

Tyre tread

Do not undercut the minimum tread depth

of 3 millimetres (1/8 in) for summer tyres

and 4 millimetres (3/16 in) for winter

tyres.

Along with increasing tyre wear, the

tyres' grip and car's handling character

istics deteriorate, particularly on wet or

snowcovered roads. You should therefore

change tyres before they undercut the

minimum tread depth.

You should measure the tread depth with a

tread depth gauge, available from a qual

ified specialist workshop such as a smart

center.

Wear indicators integrated into the edge

of the tread provide an additional visual

sign as to whether the tyres need to be

changed or not. These indicators, howev

er, do not form narrow, continuous pat

terns until the depth of the remaining

tread to the base of the tread groove has

reached 1.6 millimetres (1/16 in). If you

can see this indicator, the tyre must be

replaced without delay.

Tyres continue to age even if they are

used little or not at all. The operating

safety and roadworthiness of all tyres

gradually decreases. You should there

fore replace tyres that were manufac

tured more than six years ago.

The date of production is indicated in

the DOT number, which is displayed on

the side of every tyre. Since 2000, the

last two digits denote the tyre's year of

production, preceded by two digits indi

cating the tyre's week of production

(WWYY).

Danger of injury!

Always make sure the tyre tread is

adequate. Too shallow a tyre tread will

reduce the tyres' grip considerably and

increase the risk of aquaplaning on wet

or slushy roads and at high speeds. The

tyre's tread will then no longer be able

to cut through the water. You could lose

control over your vehicle, cause an ac

cident and injure yourself or others.

Accident risk!

Note that cracks, bulges or exter

nal damage could cause the tyre to

burst. You could lose control over your

vehicle as a result, cause an accident

and injure yourself or others. All tyres

exhibiting such defects should be re

placed without delay.
