Wheel/tire combinations Wheel/tire combinations Points to remember G Warning Observe the "Important safety notes" (Y page 304). 327 ! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use tires, wheels and accessories which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle. These tires have been specially adapted for use with the control systems, such as ABS or ESP®, and are marked as follows: RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended (tires with run-flat characteristics) RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only certain AMG tires) Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires may only be used on wheels that have been specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz. Only use tires, wheels or accessories tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise emissions or fuel consumption, may otherwise be adversely affected. In addition, when driving with a load, tire dimension variations could cause the tires to come into contact with the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tires or the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for damage resulting from the use of tires, wheels or accessories other than those tested and approved. Further information about tires, wheels and approved combinations can be obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. i The Tire and Loading Information placard with the recommended tire pressures is attached to the B-pillar on the driver's side. Further information about driving at high speeds or driving with vehicle loads that are lighter than the maximum vehicle load can be found in the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap. Check tire pressures regularly, and only when the tires are cold. Follow the tire manufacturer's maintenance recommendations in the vehicle document wallet. For further information on recommended tire pressures, including tire pressures for specific driving situations, see (Y page 306). i The following pages contain information on approved wheel rims and tire sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter tires. Winter tires are not available at the factory as standard equipment or as optional extras. If you wish to fit approved winter tires to your vehicle, rims of appropriate size are also required, as the sizes of the approved winter tires can differ from those of the original tires. This is dependent on the model and the equipment installed at the factory. Information on wheel rims, tire sizes, and other topics is available from a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Z Tires and wheels i Notes on the vehicle equipment - always equip the vehicle: Rwith tires of the same size on a given axle (left/right) Rwith the same type of tires at a given time (summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires)
