Rims and tires
Rims and tires
Use only tires and rims which have been
specifically developed for your vehicle and
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Other tires and rims can have detrimental
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.
i
Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
A placard with the recommended tire
inflation pressures is located on the
driver’s door B-pillar. Some vehicles
may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high
speeds (
page 261) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition. 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 maintenance recom-
mendation included with vehicle.
