WHEEL GEOMETRY

Front wheel toe-in measured from rim to rim: 0 ±1 mm.

The values refer to the car in running order.

UNDERSTANDING TYRE MARKING

Example: 185/60 R 14 82 H

185 = Nominal width (S, distance between sidewalls in mm).

60 = Percentage height/width ratio (H/ S).

R = Radial tyre.

14 = Rim diameter in inches (Ø).

82 = Load rating.

H = Maximum speed rating.

UNDERSTANDING RIM MARKING

Example: 5 1/2 J x 14 H2 35

5 1/2 = rim width in inches (1).

J = rim drop center outline (side projection where the tyre bead rests) (2).

15 = rim nominal diameter in inches (corresponds to diameter of the tyre to be mounted) (3 = Ø).

H2 = “hump” shape and number (relief on the circumference holding the Tubeless tyre bead on the rim).

35 = wheel camber angle (distance between the disc/rim supporting plane and the wheel rim centre line).

Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels where snow chains can be fitted. Follow the prescriptions.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm. Recheck pressure value with cold tyres.

With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the inflation pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
