| The following points must be observed for vehicles with
four-wheel drive: |
| Only tyres of the same make, design and tread pattern may be
fitted to the front and rear axles. |
| Different tyre rolling circumferences produce stress in the
drive train which increases tyre wear and may damage the drive
train. |
| These restrictions also apply to front and rear tyres with
greatly differing stages of wear. In such cases, tyres with the
most tread must be fitted on the front axle. |
