Vehicle Alteration Precautions

Hello,<p>Since you are talking of modifying a G 500 (almost undoubtedly purchased from Europa/Gwagen), I thought I would mention a few points about performing alterations to tires.<p>By changing tire sizes the vehicle will:<br>- Handle differently (possibly making the vehicle less safe),<br>- Braking distance will be lengthened (if larger diameter and/or wider tire is installed),<br>- ABS may not operate properly,<br>- Speedometer and Odometer will not be correct,<br>- Higher fuel consumption (if a large diameter and/or wider tire is installed),<br>- Warranty claims may be voided due to modifications.<p>This note is to make sure you are aware of what may happen with tire changes.<p>Regards,<br>Jason<p><br><p>
