Wheel And Tire Combinations; Overview - Mercedes-Benz 2015 M-Class Operator's Manual

Information on tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any
qualified specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since pre-
vious damage cannot always be detected
on retreaded tires. As a result, Mercedes-
Benz cannot guarantee vehicle safety if
retreaded tires are mounted. Do not mount
used tires if you have no information about
their previous usage.
Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-
ing tire tables:
BA: both axles
R
FA: front axle
R
RA: rear axle
R
The recommended pressures for various
operating conditions can be found:
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
R
with the recommended tire pressures on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
in the tire pressure table on the inside of the
R
fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressures under various operating conditions
( page 404).
Y
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-
nance recommendations of the tire manufac-
turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle with:
tires of the same size on a given axle (left/
R
right)
the same type of tires at a given time (sum-
R
mer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires)
Vehicles with MOExtended tires are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you
mount tires that do not feature run-flat prop-
erties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be
obtained from a qualified specialist work-
shop.

Wheel and tire combinations

i Not all wheel and tire combinations are
available at the factory for all countries.
i On the following pages, you can find infor-
mation on approved wheel rims and tire
sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter
tires. Winter tires are not available at the
factory as standard equipment or optional
extras.
If you would like to equip your vehicle with
approved winter tires, you may also, in cer-
tain circumstances, require rims of the
appropriate size. The size of the approved
winter tires may deviate from that of the
standard tires. This is dependent on the
model and the equipment installed at the
factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further
information, can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
