WHEELS
RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed steel or alloy wheels (where
applicable), specific bolts (of a differ-
ent size and reciprocally incompatible)
for each of the two types of rim.
Tubeless tyres with radial shell.
IMPORTANT Do not use an inner
tube with Tubeless tyres. Do not se-
cure light alloy wheels using bolts de-
signed for steel wheels and vice-versa.
For the compatibility between wheels
and wheel bolts and between these
and the spare wheel, refer to the de-
tailed indications given in the para-
graph “If a tyre is punctured”.
SNOW CHAINS
Do not use snow chains with 195/55
R15 (84V) or 195/45 R16 (80V) tyres
as the chains are likely to interfere
with the plastic wheelarches.
Use only low-profile chains with
185/55 R15 (81H) tyres: maximum
height off the wheel 12 mm. Check the
tautness of the chains after driving
some twenty to thirty yards (twenty
to thirty metres).
