See your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for 
information on tested and recommended rims and tires

Tire Replacement
Front and rear tires should be replaced in sets. Rims 
and tires must be of the correct size and type. For 
dimensions, see “Technical Data”.
We recommend that you break in new tires for 
approximately 60 miles (100 km) at moderate speed.It is imperative that the wheel mounting bolts be 
fastened to a tightening torque of 110 ft.lb. (150 Nm) 
whenever wheels are mounted.
For rim and tire specifications, refer to “Technical Data”.
Wa r n i n g !
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire tread 
is badly worn, or if the tires have sustained 
damage, replace them.When replacing rims, use only 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.
