tain AMG tires)
Cer tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consum ption, may
ot herwise be adversely af fected. In addition,
when driving wi tha load, tire dimension var‐

It is only permissible tomount a dif fere nt
wheel size in theeve nt of a flat tire in order
to drive tothe specialist workshop.
ROnly mount tires of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
RVe hicles with a tire pressure monitoring
sy stem: All mounte d wheels must be equip‐
ped with functioning sensors forth e tire
pressure monitoring sy stem.
RAt temp eratures below 45 °F (7 °C), use win‐
te r tires or all-season tires mar ked M+S for
all wheels.
Wi nter tires bearing thei snowflake sym‐
bol in addition tothe M+S marking pr ovide

RFo r M+S tires, only use tires with the same
tread.
RObser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tires mounted.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
th is must be indicated in an appropriate label
in the driver's field of vision.
RBreak in new tires at moderate speeds for
th efirs t 60 miles (100 km).
RRe place the tires af ter six years at the latest,

RWhen replacing with tires that do n otfea‐
ture run-flat characteristics: Vehicles with
MOExtended tires are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip theve hicle
with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with tires
th at do not feature run-flat characteristics,
e.g. winter tires.

WARNING Risk of injury thro ugh dif fer‐
ent wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels if the
