Rims and tires
Notes
!
Only use tires which have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. Tires
approved by Mercedes-Benz are developed
to provide best possible performance in
conjunction with the driving safety systems
on your vehicle such as the ABS or the
ESP
®
. Tires specially developed for your
vehicle and tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz can be identified by finding
the following on the tire’s sidewall:
R
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires
Using tires other than those approved by
Mercedes-Benz may result in damage that
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
!
Using tires other than those approved by
Mercedes-Benz can have detrimental
effects, such as
R
poor handling characteristics
R
increased noise
R
increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by
Mercedes-Benz may, under load, exhibit
dimensional variations and different tire
deformation characteristics that could
cause them to come into contact with the
vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the
tires or the vehicle may be the result.

Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. A placard with the recommended
tire inflation pressures is located on the
driver’s door B-pillar. Some vehicles may
have supplemental tire inflation pressure
information for driving at high speeds or for
vehicle loads less than the maximum
loaded vehicle condition. If such
information is provided, it can be found on
the placard located on the inside of the fuel
filler flap. The tire inflation pressure should
be checked regularly and should only be
adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire
manufacturer’s maintenance
recommendation included with the vehicle.
For information on recommended tire
inflation pressure and supplemental tire
inflation pressure information for special
driving situations, see (Y page 435).

The following pages also list the approved
wheel rim and tire sizes for equipping your
vehicles with winter tires. Winter tires are
not available as standard or optional
factory equipment, but can be purchased
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Equipping your vehicle with winter tires
approved for your vehicle model may
require the purchase of two or four wheel
rims of the recommended size for use with
these winter tires. This depends on vehicle
model and the standard or optional factory-
equipped wheel rim/tire configuration on
your vehicle. For more information contact
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
