Notes on wheels
* NOTE Restrictions relating to suspension
settings and driving characteristics
The handling and braking characteristics of
the vehicle may be adversely affected if you
use tires which deviate from the specifica‐
tions in terms of the following values:
Diameter
R
Wheel offset
R
Width
R
Only use the wheels provided by
#
Mercedes-AMG for use on a racetrack.
Only use wheels with approved geome‐
#
try.
Do not use slick tires. Suspension and body
components may otherwise be subjected to
excessively high loads.
Observe the following notes on changing a
wheel:
Change the wheels after 9320 miles
R
(15,000 km) on a racetrack at the latest.
To ensure concentricity and lateral trueness,
R
check the wheel contact surface for damage
when changing a wheel. These should also
be measured in the event of imbalance.
The wheel bolts are subjected to high wear when
used on a racetrack. To ensure the wheels are
bolted securely on a permanent basis, replace
the wheel bolts in the following situations:
After approximately 620 miles (1000 km) on
R
a racetrack.
After ten bolting procedures at the latest.

Notes on tires
& WARNING Risk of injury through dam‐
aged tires
Damaged tires can cause tire pressure loss.
Check the tires regularly for signs of
#
damage and replace any damaged tires
immediately.
Check the tires for damage and the correct tire
tread depth both before and after use on a race‐
track. Only then is it safe to drive on a racetrack
and on public roads.
As a result of the driving style and at high ambi‐
ent temperatures, when driving on a racetrack it
may be necessary to compensate for the
increase in pressure in warm tires by releasing
air. Even for warm tires, the specified tire pres‐
sure may only be exceeded by max. 0.5 bar.
After the tires have cooled down again, you must
readjust the tire pressure in accordance with the
specifications in order to drive on public roads.
Suspension
Suspension settings
The factory setting provides a good compromise
for driving on public roads and on a racetrack.
