Maintenance Booklet
Tire rotation - Your vehicle's tires are a
critical component to overall vehicle
performance and vehicle stability. The
useful life of tires will vary and is
proportional to tire type, speed rating,
ambient conditions, tire loading, tire
inflation pressure, road surfaces, and
individual driving style, among other
factors. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz
recommends regular checks for wear and
proper inflation and, if applicable to your
vehicle's tire configuration, tire rotation.
Tire rotations can be performed on vehicles
with the same tire dimensions all around. If
your vehicle is equipped with the same tire
dimensions all around, tires can be rotated
by observing a front-to-rear rotation
pattern that will maintain the intended
rotation (spinning) direction of the tire (on
unidirectional tires, an arrow on the
sidewall indicates the intended rotation or
spinning direction of the tire). In some
cases, such as when your vehicle is
configured with staggered-size (different
tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are
not possible.
