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.

Overview of abbreviations used in the
following tire tables:

R

BA: both axles

FA: front axle

Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the
maintenance recommendations of the tire
manufacturer 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

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 properties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit
may be obtained from a qualified specialist
workshop.
