or ESP®, and are marked as follows:
RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-tain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires mayonly be used on wheels that have been spe-cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories testedand approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certaincharacteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noiseemissions or fuel consumption, may other-wise be adversely affected. In addition,when driving with a load, tire dimension var-iations could cause the tires to come intocontact with the bodywork and axle compo-nents. This could result in damage to thetires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-age resulting from the use of tires, wheelsor accessories other than those tested andapproved.
Information on tires, wheels and approvedcombinations can be obtained from anyqualified specialist workshop.
!Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-ous damage cannot always be detected onretreaded tires. As a result, Mercedes-Benzcannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreadedtires are mounted. Do not mount used tiresif you have no information about their previ-ous usage.
