Important guidelines
Warning!

Only use sets of tires and rims of the
same type and make.
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have
sustained damage, replace them.
Tires must be of the correct size for the
rim.

When replacing rims, only use genuine
Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for the
particular rim type. Failure to do so can re-
sult in the bolts loosening and possibly an
accident.
Warning!
Break in new tires for approximately
60
miles (100 km) at moderate
Replace rims or tires with the same designa-
tion, manufacturer and type as shown on the
original part. See an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center for further informa-
tion. If incorrectly sized rims and tires are
mounted:
speeds.
ț
Regularly check the tires and rims for
damage. Dented or bent rims can
cause tire inflation pressure loss and
damage to the tire beads.
Retreaded tires are not tested or recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be recognized on
retreads. Mercedes-Benz can therefore
not assure the operating safety of the vehi-
cle when such tires are used.

If vehicle is heavily loaded, check tire
inflation pressure and correct as re-
quired.
ț
The wheel brakes or suspension compo-
nents can be damaged
ț
The correct operating clearance of the
wheels and the tires are no longer guar-
anteed
Do not allow your tires to wear down
too far. Adhesion properties on wet
roads are sharply reduced at tread
1
depths under /8 in (3 mm).
