Replace rims or tires with the
same designation, manufacturer
and type as shown on the original
part. See your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer for further
information.
o not mix different tire con-
struction types (i. e. radial,
bias, and bias-belted) on your
car because handling may be
adversely affected and may
ult in loss of control.
See your authorized
Benz dealer for information on
tested and recommended rims
and tires for summer and winter
operation. They can also offer
more advice concerning tire
service and purchase.
Tire replacement:
Front tires should be replaced in
sets. Furthermore in the event of
tire replacement the spare
wheel, if possible, should be used
on the rear axle.
Rims and tires must be of the
same size. For dimensions see
“Technical Data”.
We recommend that you break in
new tires for approx. 60 miles
(100 km) at moderate speed. It is
imperative that the wheel mount-
ing bolts be retightened after
approximately 60 300 miles
(100 500 km).
On new vehicles retightening is
carried out during the 1st inspec-
tion. Retightening is also neces-
sary whenever wheels are fitted,
e.g. when the spare wheel is used
for the first time or when a set of
wheels with M + S tires is installed
Tightening torque:
80 (1 10 Nm).
For rim and tire specifications,
refer to “Technical Data”.

When replacing rims, use only
genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel
bolts (identified by Mercedes
star) specified for the particu-
lar rim type. Failure to do so
can result in the bolts
loosen-
ing
and possibly an accident.
Rotating wheels:
The wheels can be rotated ac-
cording to the degree of tire wear
while retaining the same direction
of travel.
Rotating, however, should be
carried out, at a mileage of 3000
6000 miles (5000 10 000 km),
before the characteristic tire wear
pattern (shoulder wear on front
wheels and tread center wear on
rear wheels) becomes visible, as
otherwise the driving properties
deteriorate.
