& WARNING Risk of injury through exceed‐
ing the specified tire load-bearing capa‐
city or the permissible speed rating
Exceeding the specified tire load rating or
the permissible speed rating may lead to tire
damage and to the tires bursting.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
#
approved for your vehicle model.
Observe the tire load rating and speed
#
rating required for your vehicle.
* NOTE Vehicle and tire damage through
tire types and sizes that have not been
approved
For safety reasons, only use tires, wheels
and accessories which have been specially
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These tires are specially adapted to the con‐
®
trol systems, such as ABS, ESP
and
4MATIC, and marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(run-flat tire only for certain wheels)

tain AMG tires)
Certain characteristics, such as handling,
vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc.
may otherwise be adversely affected. Fur‐
thermore, other tire sizes could result in the
tires rubbing against the body and axle com‐
ponents when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tire or the vehicle.
