410 Technical dataRims and Tires
!
Only use tires which have been tested
and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. Tires approved by
Mercedes-Benz are developed to pro-
vide best possible performance in con-
junction with the driving safety
systems on your vehicle such as ABS or
ESP
®. Tires specially developed for
your vehicle and tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz can be identified by
finding the following on the tire’s side-
wall:


MO = M
ercedes-Benz O
riginal
equipment tires
AMG vehicles:
Does not apply to all approved tires
on AMG vehicles. For information
on tested and approved tires for
AMG vehicles, contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Using tires other than those approved
by Mercedes-Benz may result in dam-
age that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.!Using tires other than those approved
by Mercedes-Benz can have detrimen-
tal effects, such as

poor handling characteristics


increased noise


increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved
by Mercedes-Benz may, under load,
exhibit dimensional variations and dif-
ferent tire deformation characteristics
that could cause them to come into
contact with the vehicle body or axle
parts. Damage to the tires or the vehi-
cle may be the result.
iFurther information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. A placard with
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sures is located on the driver’s door
B-pillar (
page 286). Some vehicles
may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high
speeds (page 293) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition (
page 299). If such
information is provided, it can be found
on the placard located on the inside of
the fuel filler flap. The tire inflation
pressure should be checked regularly
and should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Follow tire manufacturer’s main-
tenance recommendation included
with vehicle.

411 Technical data
Rims and Tires
iThe following pages also list the ap-
proved wheel rim and tire sizes for
equipping your vehicles with winter
tires. Winter tires are not available as
standard or optional factory equip-
ment, but can be purchased from an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Depending on vehicle model and the
standard or optional factory-equipped
wheel rim/tire configuration on your
vehicle (Appearance Package, Sport
Package etc.), equipping your vehicle
with winter tires approved for your ve-
hicle model may also require the pur-
chase of two or four wheel rims of the
recommended size for use with these
winter tires. See an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for more infor-
mation.
