Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle.
Check the wheels and tyres of your vehicle for damage regularly, i.e. at least every two weeks, as well as after driving off-road or on rough roads. Damaged wheels can lead to a loss of tyre pressure.
cuts in the tyres
punctures in the tyres
tears in the tyres
bulges on tyres
deformation or severe corrosion on wheels
Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to dissipate water.
This means that in heavy rain or slush the risk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread.
Summer tyres: 3 mm
M+S tyres: 4 mm

check the valve caps
Valves must be protected from moisture and dirt with valve caps specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.

For summer tyres, the minimum tread depth is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.
