& WARNING Risk of injury through exceed‐
ing the specified tyre load-bearing capa‐
city or the permissible speed rating
Exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the
tyres can lead to tyre damage and could
cause the tyres to explode.
Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes
#
approved for your vehicle model.
Observe the tyre load-bearing capacity
#
rating and speed rating required for
your vehicle.
* NOTE Vehicle and tyre damage through
tyre types and sizes that have not been
approved
For safety reasons, only use tyres, wheels
and accessories which have been specially
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These tyres are specially adapted to the con‐
trol systems, such as ABS, ESP
4MATIC, and marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(run-flat tyres only for certain wheels)
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer‐
R
tain AMG tyres)
Certain characteristics, such as handling,
vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc.
may otherwise be adversely affected. Fur‐
thermore, other tyre sizes could result in the
tyres rubbing against the body and axle com‐
ponents when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.
* NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea‐
®
and ded tyres
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec‐
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ‐
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tyres.
For this reason driving safety cannot be guar‐
anteed.
Do not use used tyres if you have no
#
information about their previous usage.
* NOTE Possible damage to wheels or
tyres when driving over obstacles
Large wheels have a lower tyre section width.
The lower the tyre section width, the greater
is the risk of damage to wheels or tyres when
driving over obstacles.
Avoid obstacles or drive particularly
#
carefully.
