Rims and tires
Use only tires and rims which have been
specifically developed for your vehicle and
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Other tires and rims can have detrimental
effects, such as:
ț Poor handling characteristics
ț Increased noise
ț Increased fuel consumption
Same-sized tires
!
Moreover, tires and rims not approved
by Mercedes-Benz may under load ex-
hibit dimensional variations and differ-
ent tire deformation characteristics
that could cause them to come into
contact with the vehicle body or axle
parts. Damage to the tires or the vehi-
cle can be the result.
i
Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. A tire inflation
pressure table is located on the fuel fill-
er cap of the vehicle. The tire pressure
should only be adjusted on cold tires.
Follow the tire manufacturer’s mainte-
nance recommendation included with
the vehicle.
