  Caution

It is mandatory for run-flat tires to have a tire pressure monitoring system in the vehicle.

Installing/Conditions for Using Run-Flat Tires

  Caution

It is mandatory for run-flat tires to have a tire pressure monitoring system in the vehicle.

Because pressure loss in a run-flat tire is not always visible, these tires should only be used on vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. This system warns the driver when the tire pressure falls below a certain value.

The following are permitted:

• Direct measuring systems
• Indirect measuring systems

Only mount run-flat tires on disc wheels with an extended double hump (extended hump - EH2).

Pay close attention to the installation instructions.

Do not install both run-flat tires and standard tires, even if the two tires on each axle will be the same.

A standard tire can only be installed in exception cases for a short time or a limited driving distance. The specific characteristics designed for driving with a flat tire will not be available. The driver must be informed of this.

• Tires with emergency running characteristics, PAX
• Tires with Emergency Running Characteristics (PAX), Repairing
• Tires with Emergency Running Characteristics, SST (Self-Supporting Tire)
• Tires with Emergency Running Characteristics, Seal Inside-Technology
• Tires with Emergency Running Characteristics, Repairing
