(1) Not recommended for model 124 coupe.
(2) Not recommended for 124 T-model.
(3) Not recommended for models 126.035/037 with load leveling.
(4) Only available as a ZR tire.
NOTE:
- The load and speed rating of the previous VR and the new ZR tires must be sufficient for each model. Individual tire manufacturers can confirm this.

The previous VR rated tires are now identified as are all standard tires (e.g. 205/65 R 15 94 V).

- When replacing tires, ensure that only tires with the tire/rim match point are used. The match points are designed to keep tire/wheel out-ofroundness within specified tolerances (See topic C. Match Points).

- Before mounting wheels, always clean the contact surfaces of the rims and axles of dirt and corrosion.

CAUTION! In case of a wheel change (e.g., light alloy rims for steel rims), be certain that the spare lugbolts are visibly kept with the spare wheel, to ensure proper combination of wheel and bolt.

Lugbolts for steel wheels and aluminum wheels are not interchangeable.
