410 Technical dataRims and Tires
!
Only use tires which have been tested 
and approved for your vehicle by 
Mercedes-Benz. Tires approved by 
Mercedes-Benz are developed to pro-
vide best possible performance in con-
junction with the driving safety 
systems on your vehicle such as ABS or 
ESP
®. Tires specially developed for 
your vehicle and tested and approved 
by Mercedes-Benz can be identified by 
finding the following on the tire’s side-
wall:
MO = M
ercedes-Benz O
riginal 
equipment tires
AMG vehicles:
Does not apply to all approved tires 
on AMG vehicles. For information 
on tested and approved tires for 
AMG vehicles, contact an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Using tires other than those approved 
by Mercedes-Benz may result in dam-
age that is not covered by the 
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.!Using tires other than those approved 
by Mercedes-Benz can have detrimen-
tal effects, such as
poor handling characteristics
increased noise
increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved 
by Mercedes-Benz may, under load, 
exhibit dimensional variations and dif-
ferent tire deformation characteristics 
that could cause them to come into 
contact with the vehicle body or axle 
parts. Damage to the tires or the vehi-
cle may be the result.
iFurther information on tires and rims is 
available at any authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center. A placard with 
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sures is located on the driver’s door 
B-pillar (
page 286). Some vehicles 
may have supplemental tire inflation 
pressure information for driving at high 
speeds (page 293) or for vehicle 
loads less than the maximum loaded 
vehicle condition (
page 299). If such 
information is provided, it can be found 
on the placard located on the inside of 
the fuel filler flap. The tire inflation 
pressure should be checked regularly 
and should only be adjusted on cold 
tires. Follow tire manufacturer’s main-
tenance recommendation included 
with vehicle.

Rims and Tires
iThe following pages also list the ap-
proved wheel rim and tire sizes for 
equipping your vehicles with winter 
tires. Winter tires are not available as 
standard or optional factory equip-
ment, but can be purchased from an 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Depending on vehicle model and the 
standard or optional factory-equipped 
wheel rim/tire configuration on your 
vehicle (Appearance Package, Sport 
Package etc.), equipping your vehicle 
with winter tires approved for your ve-
hicle model may also require the pur-
chase of two or four wheel rims of the 
recommended size for use with these 
winter tires. See an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center for more infor-
mation.
