Wheel and tire combinations

You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tire combinations at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires, wheels and
accessories which have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the various
driving safety systems, such as ABS or ESP
Only use tires, wheels and accessories tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, such as handling, vehicle
noise emissions, fuel consumption, etc. may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addition,
other wheel sizes may cause the tires to rub
against the vehicle body and axle compo-
nents, when under load. This may result in
damage to the tire or to the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsible for any
damage caused by using tires, wheels or
accessories different from those recommen-
ded.
Information on tires, wheels and permissible
combinations can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.

Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-

you have no information about their previous
usage.

ating conditions can be found:
