Information on tires, wheels and approved

combinations can be obtained from any

qualified specialist workshop.

!

Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-

ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since pre-

vious 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.

Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-

ing tire tables:

R

BA: both axles

R

FA: front axle

R

RA: rear axle

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 side

R

in the tire pressure table on the inside of the

fuel filler flap

Observe the notes on recommended tire

pressures under various operating conditions

(

Y

page 410).

Check tire pressures regularly, and only when

the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-

nance recommendations of the tire manufac-

turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always

equip the vehicle with:

R

tires of the same size on a given axle (left/

right)

R

the same type of tires at a given time (sum-

mer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires)

Vehicles with MOExtended tires are not

equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is

therefore recommended that you additionally

equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you

mount tires that do not feature run-flat prop-

erties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be

obtained from a qualified specialist work-

shop.

Not all wheel and tire combinations are

available at the factory for all countries.

On the following pages, you can find infor-

mation on approved wheel rims and tire

sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter

tires. Winter tires are not available at the

factory as standard equipment or optional

extras.
If you would like to equip your vehicle with

approved winter tires, you may also, in cer-

tain circumstances, require rims of the

appropriate size. The size of the approved

winter tires may deviate from that of the

standard tires. This is dependent on the

model and the equipment installed at the

factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further

information, can be obtained at a qualified

specialist workshop.
