Tire identification - How you find out if your passenger car tire is affected

Sidewall inscription

To verify if a specific tire is affected by this program, check the tire sidewall inscription. Only tires with their brand name, product line, tire size and DOT code identified in the exchange program scope are affected. The attached pictures provide samples of the relevant sidewall inscriptions. The sample is a ContiPremiumContact 5 215/60 R 16 99H XL tire with DOT code 6G5M D85Y 3317, 6G5M D85Y 3417, 6G5M D85Y 3517 and 6G5M D85Y 3617.
