Tyres And Wheels - Mercedes-Benz G-Class Owner's Manual

Tyres and wheels

Mercedes-Benz recommends that, for
safety reasons, you only use tyres that
have been specially approved for your ve-
hicle by Mercedes-Benz. These tyres are
specially suited for use with control sys-
tems such as ABS or ESP.
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not be held responsible for any damage
that may occur. You may obtain informa-
tion about tyres from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
If you fit tyres other than those approved
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz,
properties such as handling characteris-
tics, noise emissions and fuel consump-
tion, etc. may be adversely affected.
In addition, when driving with a load, di-
mensional variations and different tyre de-
formation characteristics could cause the
tyres to make contact with the bodywork
and axle components. This may result in
the tyre or the vehicle being damaged.
Retreaded tyres are neither checked nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz since
previous damage cannot always be detect-
ed on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety.

Risk of accident
Only use the wheel sizes stated in the vehi-
cle registration document. If other wheels

the wheel brakes or chassis compo-
nents could be damaged, for example
wheel and tyre clearance is no longer
guaranteed
Modification work on the brake system
and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use
of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any
such modifications will invalidate the vehi-
cle's general operating permit.
