Rims and tires

CAUTION
!
Only use tires which have been test-
ed and approved for your Sprinter ve-
hicle by the vehicle manufacturer.
Tires approved by the vehicle manu-
facturer are developed to provide the
best possible performance in con-
junction with the driving safety sys-
tems on your Sprinter vehicle such as
ABS, BAS, ASR or ESP ® .
Using tires other than those ap-
proved by the vehicle manufacturer
may result in damage that is not cov-
ered by the Sprinter vehicle warran-
ty.
Using tires other than those ap-
proved by the vehicle manufacturer
can have detrimental effects, such as
poor handling characteristics
increased noise
increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not ap-
proved by the vehicle manufacturer
may, under load, exhibit dimensional
variations and different tire deforma-
tion characteristics that could cause
them to come into contact with the
vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to
the tires or the vehicle may be the re-
sult.
