Wheel And Tyre Combinations - Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 Owner's Manual

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use wheel bolts of the
correct size which have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before a clear wear
pattern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres
typically wear more on the shoulders and the
rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5000 km to 10,000 km depending on
the degree of tyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system.

Wheel and tyre combinations

Please bear the following in mind
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres, wheels
and accessories which have been approved
by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your
vehicle. These tyres have been specially
adapted for use with the control systems,
such as ABS or ESP
follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (AMG)
R
Only use Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
tyres on wheels that have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If you use other tyres, wheels and acces-
sories, Mercedes-Benz cannot accept any
responsibility for damage that may result
from this. Further information about tyres,
wheels and approved combinations can be
®
, and are marked as
Wheel and tyre combinations
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
!
If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
cause the tyres to come into contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.

Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see ( page 299).

Notes on the vehicle equipment:
Always fit the vehicle:
with tyres of the same size on a given axle
R
(left/right)
with the same type of tyres at a given
R
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i
Vehicles featuring the MOExtended run-
flat system are not equipped with the
TIREFIT kit.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres.
A TIREFIT kit is available from any qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
