Wheel and tire combinations

General notes

!

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz

recommends that you only use tires and

wheels which have been approved by

Mercedes-Benz specifically for your

vehicle.

These tires have been specially adapted for

use with the control systems, such as ABS

or ESP

®

, and are marked as follows:

R

MO = Mercedes-Benz Original

R

MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended

(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)

R

MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only

certain AMG tires)

Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires

may only be used on wheels that have been

specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories

tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Certain characteristics, e.g. handling,

vehicle noise emissions or fuel

consumption, may otherwise be adversely

affected. In addition, when driving with a

load, tire dimension variations could cause

the tires to come into contact with the

bodywork and axle components. This could

result in damage to the tires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for

damage resulting from the use of tires,

wheels or accessories other than those

tested and approved.
Information on tires, wheels and approved

combinations can be obtained from any

qualified specialist workshop.

!

Retreaded tires are neither tested nor

recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since

previous damage cannot always be

detected on retreaded tires. As a result,

Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle

safety if retreaded tires are mounted. Do

not mount used tires if you have no

information about their previous usage.

i

The recommended pressures for various

operating conditions can be found:

R

on the Tire and Loading Information

placard with the recommended tire

pressures on the B-pillar on the driver's
