Tire traction
Tire speed rating
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or icy road is
always lower than on a dry road.
CLK 430:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “W”-rated tires,
which have a speed rating of 168 mph (270 km/h). An
electronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from
exceeding a speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).
You should pay particular attention to the condition of
the road whenever the outside temperatures are close to
the freezing point.
CLK 55 AMG:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “Y”-rated tires,
which are permissible for speeds over 188 mph
Warning!
If ice has formed on the road, tire traction will be
substantially reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake with extreme
caution.
(300
km/h). An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of 156 mph (250 km/h).
Despite the tire rating, local speed limits should be
obeyed. Use prudent driving speeds appropriate to
prevailing conditions.
We recommend M+S rated radial-ply tires for the winter
season for all four wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics. On packed snow, they can
reduce your stopping distance as compared with
summer tires. Stopping distance, however, is still
considerably greater than when the road is not snow or
ice covered.
Warning!
Even when permitted by law, never operate a
vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum speed
rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which tires are
rated can lead to sudden tire failure causing loss of
vehicle control and resulting in personal injury
and possible death.
