Snow Chains - Mercedes-Benz C-Class Operator's Manual

Tire speed rating
Vehicles without Sport Package:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with "H"-rated tires,
which have a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).
An electronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from
exceeding the speed rating.
Warning!
Even when permitted by law, never operate a
vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum speed
rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which tires are
rated can lead to sudden tire failure causing loss of
vehicle control and resulting in personal injury
and possible death.

by Mercedes-Benz. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center will be glad to advise you on this subject.
Chains should only be used on the rear wheels. Follow
the manufacturer's mounting instructions.
Snow chains should only be driven on snow covered
roads at speeds not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Remove chains as soon as possible when driving on
roads without snow.
