Retreaded tyres are not checked and recommended by Mercedes-Benz as it is not always possible to detect previous damage after retreading. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee their driving safety. Do not use used tyres when their previous usage is unknown.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use tyres, wheels and accessories which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These tyres have been specially adapted for use with driving safety systems, such as ABS or ESP®.
Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that have been checked and recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Certain characteristics, such as handling, vehicle noise emissions, fuel consumption, etc. may otherwise be adversely affected. Other wheel sizes may cause the tyres to come into contact with the vehicle body and axle components when under load. This may result in damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsible for any damage caused by using tyres, wheels or accessories other than those recommended.
Information on tyres, wheels and permissible combinations can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
The smaller the cross-section of a tyre of a specific wheel size, the worse the driving comfort on poor road surfaces. Ride and damping comfort are reduced and the risk increases that when you drive over obstacles, damage to wheels and tyres may result.
If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it is assigned to the correct wheel size category More. If the assignment changes without recoding the control units in the vehicle, the speedometer will not display the speed accurately. Driving safety systems and driving systems may then be operationally impaired or may detect a malfunction and switch themselves off.
You will find a table with the recommended tyre pressures for various vehicle loads inside the fuel filler flap on the left B-pillar or under "Tyre pressure tables" More.
Check tyre pressures regularly and only when the tyres are cold.
always fit the vehicle with tyres of the same size on a given axle (left/right)
always fit the same type of wheels on your vehicle at a given time (summer tyres, winter tyres)
You can obtain information about tyres that have been specially designed and approved for your vehicle from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Not all wheel/tyre combinations can be fitted at the factory in all countries.
