Radial-Ply Tires
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are repairable only in
the tread area because of sidewall flexing. Consult an
authorized tire dealer for radial tire repairs.
Important Guidelines
•Only use sets of tires and rims of the same type and
make.
• Tires must be of the correct size for the rim.
• Break in new tires for approximately 65 miles (100
km) at moderate speeds.
WARNING!
Fitting other wheel sizes to the vehicle will change
the vehicle’s handling characteristics andmay lead
to an accident resulting in death, severe personal
injuries and property damage.
Only certain tires meeting the tire size/load/speed
rating specifications are certified to conform to
FMVSS 110 for the Sprinter vehicle at this time.
Please check your side walls of your originally
equipped tires for specific makes/sizes, and speed
load ratings when you need to replace your tires.
To prevent accidents resulting in possible death,
severe injury or property damage, use only the tire
andwheel sizeswith load ratings approved for
your Sprinter vehicle for your tire replacement.
Refer to "Tire and Loading Information"
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types of
tires on your Sprinter vehicle will cause your ve-
hicle to handle poorly. The instability could cause
an accident.
Always use radial ply tires in sets of 4 (or 6, in case
of vehicles with dual rear wheels).
Never combine them with other types of tires.
