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.

Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-

ing tire tables:

R

BA: both axles

R

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

(

page 359).

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)
Exception: it is permissible to install a dif-

ferent type or make in the event of a flat

tire. Observe the "MOExtended tires (tires

with run-flat characteristics" section

(

Y

page 337).

Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are

not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.

It is therefore recommended that you addi-

tionally 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 work-

shop.

i

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.
