Safety notes
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for information on tested and recommended
rims and tires for summer and winter
operation. They can also offer advice
concerning tire service and purchase.

Replace rims or tires with the same

clearance of the wheels and the tires may
no longer be correct.
