General notes

!

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-

ommends that you only use tires and

wheels which have been approved by

Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-

cle.
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 cer-

tain 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 tes-

ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-

tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle

noise emissions or fuel consumption, may

otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-

tion, when driving with a load, tire dimen-

sion variations could cause the tires to

come into contact with the bodywork and

axle components. This could result in dam-

age 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 tes-

ted and approved.
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
