Tire traction
Mercedes-Benz recommends winter tires
Tire speed rating
(
of approximately 1/6 in (4 mm) on all four
୴ page 313) with a minimum tread depth
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or
icy road is always lower than on a dry road.
Regardless of the tire rating, local speed
limits should be obeyed. Use prudent driv-
ing speeds appropriate to prevailing condi-
tions.
wheels for the winter season to ensure
normal balanced handling characteristics.
On packed snow, they can reduce your
stopping distance compared to summer
tires. Stopping distance, however, is still
considerably greater than when the road is
not covered with snow or ice. Exercise ap-
propriate caution.
You should pay particular attention to the
condition of the road whenever the outside
temperatures are close to the freezing
point.
Warning!

Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
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.
!
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, causing loss of vehicle control and pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or serious
personal injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel. This
may cause serious damage to the driv-
etrain which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
