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.

Overview of abbreviations used in the
following 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 301).

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.
