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 speciallya
dapted for
use with the control systems ,such as ABS
or ESP ®
,a nd are marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-BenzO riginal
R MOE =Mercedes-BenzO riginal Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-BenzO riginal (only
certain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires
may only be used on wheels that have been
specificall yapproved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Certain characteristics, e.g. handling,
vehicl enoise emissions or fuel
consumption, may otherwise be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tire dimension variations coul dcause
the tires to come into contact with the
bodywork and axle components. This could
resul tind amage to th etires or th evehicle.
Mercedes-Ben zaccepts no liability for
damag eresulting from the us eoftires,
wheel soraccessorie sothe rthan 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 aresult,
Mercedes-Ben zcannot guarante evehicle
safety if retreade dtires are mounted. Do
no tm ount used tires if you have no
information about their previous usage.
