The approved snow chain model is the Euromatic S.
^
Speed and load ratings for the previous VR tires can be confirmed by the individual tire manufacturer.
^
The tire speed rating symbol "W" has been added to the familiar speed symbols "Q/R/S/T/HNNR/ZR". This new symbol is used to designate tires
approved for a top speed of 162 mph. When installing new tires, these tires can be used to replace VR and ZR tires, because the affected vehicles
have a limited top speed of 150 mph.
CAUTION!
All tires on the vehicle must be in the same speed rating category. Customers should be made aware of the tire maximum speed ratings (see table
below). This is especially important if winter tires are installed which have a lower speed rating than the summer tires normally used.
^
In case of a wheel change (e.g., light alloy wheels for steel wheels), be certain that the proper spare lug bolts are kept conspicuously near the spare
wheel. Ensure the proper bolts are used with each set of wheels.
^
Retightening of the lug bolts after approx. 100-500 miles as previously specified is no longer necessary.
^
Before mounting the wheels, clean all dirt and corrosion from the contact surfaces of the wheels and axle flanges.
^
Some tires have a direction of rotation embossed in the sidewall. Please be certain to mount the tire on the wheel rim in the proper direction of
rotation as indicated by the direction indicator arrow.
^
Asymmetric tires will have the word "Outer" and may have an arrow embossed in the sidewall. Please be certain to mount the tire on the wheel rim
with the correct side out and in the correct direction of rotation.
^
On models equipped with COMAND, the navigation system must be calibrated each time new tires are installed on the vehicle.
^
In general, use only tires and wheels with tire/wheel match points when replacing tires. Match points are designed to cancel out tire/wheel
out-of-round dimensions.
Match point identification regarding winter tires
^
Tires with color dot on outside sidewall
^
Steel wheels via a color dot or center punch mark on the outside wheel rim.
^
Light-alloy wheels via valve stem hole in wheel.
Note:
Due to improved wheel and tire manufacturing tolerances, the match point marks were phased out on original equipment alloy wheels during model
year 1994.
