Wheels and Tires

COMPONENT LOCATION





OVERVIEW
The only road wheels specified for armored vehicles are 10 spoke 9J x 19 inch wheels fitted with Dunlop 245/45 R19 98Y SP Sport MAXX GT DSST (Dunlop self supporting technology) ROF (run on flat) tires.
The front and rear wheels have different off-sets (front wheel off-set 49 mm; rear wheel off-set 33 mm). The rear wheel is identified on the outside face by a deeper wheel nut counterbore than the front wheel. The off-set is also stamped on the inside of the wheel rim. As a result of the different off-sets, the rear wheels cannot be used at front wheel positions. A front wheel can be temporarily installed at a rear wheel position, but should be replaced with a rear wheel as soon as practicable.
A spare wheel is offered as an option. When the spare wheel is carried with the car, this is always a front wheel.
The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) is fitted as standard on armored vehicles.
