Rotating wheels

Rotate front and rear wheels only if they are

of the same size.

On vehicles with the same wheel size all

around, wheels can be rotated every 3000

to 6000 miles (5000 to 10000 km), or

sooner if necessary, according to the de-

gree of tire wear. The same direction of tire

rotation must be retained.

Rotate the wheels before the characteris-

tic tire wear pattern becomes visible

(shoulder wear on front wheels and tread

center wear on rear wheels).

Thoroughly clean the inner side of the

wheels after each rotation. Check and en-

sure proper tire inflation pressure.

Have the tightening torque checked after

changing a wheel. Wheels could become

loose if not tightened with a torque of

80 ft.lb. (110 Nm).

Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel

bolts specified for your vehicle's rims.
