& 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 dam-
age 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 caused by
non-approved tire types and sizes
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 active
®
safety systems, such as ABS, ESP
4MATIC, and marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(tires with run-flat characteristics for cer-
tain wheels only)
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
R
tain AMG tires)
Otherwise, certain properties, such as driving
characteristics, vehicle noise emissions, con-
sumption, etc. could be adversely affected.
Furthermore, other tire sizes could result in
the tires rubbing against the body and axle
components when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tire or the vehicle.
Only use tires, wheels and accessories that
have been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.
* NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea-
ded tires
Retreaded tires are neither tested nor recom-
and
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be detected on retrea-
ded tires.
For this reason driving safety cannot be guar-
anteed.
Do not use used tires if you have no
#
information about their previous usage.
* NOTE Possible wheel and tire damage
when driving over obstacles
Large wheels have a smaller section width. As
the section width decreases, the risk of
wheels and tires being damaged when driving
over obstacles increases.
