Certain characteristics, such as handling,
vehicl enoise emissions, fuel consumption,
etc. may otherwise be adversely affected.
Other wheel sizes may caus ethe tyres to
come into contact with the vehicl ebody and
axle components, whe nunder load. This may
result in damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsibl efor any

ous damage cannot alwaysbed etected on
retreaded tyres. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicl esafety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit use dtyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Rol lcomfort
and suspension comfort are reduced and the risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
