Important guidelines
Warning!

ț
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
result in the bolts loosening and possibly an
accident.
G
Break in new tires for approximately
Warning!
60
miles (100 km) at moderate
speeds.
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:
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. The operating safety of the
vehicle cannot be assured when such tires
are used.
ț
ț
If vehicle is heavily loaded, check tire
inflation pressure and correct as
required.
ț
The wheel brakes or suspension
components can be damaged.
ț
The operating clearance of the wheels
and the tires may no longer be correct.
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).
ț
When replacing individual tires, you
should mount new tires on the front
wheels first (on vehicles with
same-sized wheels all around).
