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 Mer-
cedes-Benz can be identified by finding the
following on the tire’s sidewall:
R
MO =
Mercedes-Benz Original equip-
ment tires
R
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original equip-
ment tires (applicable to selected tire
sizes only)
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires with limited run-flat characteris-
tics) original equipment tires
Using tires other than those approved by
Mercedes-Benz may result in damage that
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Lim-
ited Warranty.
For information on driving with MOExtended
tires, see the “Practical hints” section
(Y page 325).
!
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 informa-
tion 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 manu-
facturer’s maintenance recommendation
included with the vehicle.
For information on recommended tire infla-
tion pressure and supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for special driving sit-
uations, see (Y page 215).

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 fac-
tory equipment, but can be purchased from
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Depending on vehicle model and the stand-
ard or optional factory-equipped wheel
rim/tire configuration on your vehicle
(Appearance Package, Sport Package etc.),
equipping your vehicle with winter tires
approved for your vehicle model may also
require the purchase of two or four wheel
rims of the recommended size for use with
these winter tires. For more information
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter.
