Before changing tires, it is essential to check for any damage or cracks in the tires. The tire tread should also be inspected. The law (§ 36 StVZO) mandates a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm across the entire circumference. However, a depth of 3 mm to 4 mm is recommended. Proper grip is especially crucial in winter conditions.

There are directional tires, which have a marking on the sidewall indicating the rolling direction of the tire. These must be mounted accordingly. It is also important to note that tires on the drive axle wear out more quickly. Therefore, it is recommended to mount the better tires on the drive axle, as uneven tread depths can jeopardize driving stability.
