Wheels

Replace rims or tires with the same designation,

manufacturer and type as shown on the original part.

See your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for further

information.

See your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for

information on tested and recommended rims and tires

for summer and winter operation. They can also offer

advice concerning tire service and purchase.

Tire replacement

Front tires should be replaced in sets. Rims and tires

must be of the correct size and type. For dimensions,

see page 326.

We recommend that you break in new tires for

approximately 60 miles (100 km) at moderate speed.

It is imperative that the wheel mounting bolts be

fastened to a tightening torque of 80 ft.lb. (110 Nm)

whenever wheels are mounted.

For rim and tire specifications, see page 326.

Warning!

Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire tread

is badly worn, or if the tires have sustained

damage, replace them.

Tires and spare wheel should be replaced after six

years, independently of the remaining tread.

When replacing rims, use only genuine

Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for the

particular rim type. Failure to do so can result in

the bolts loosening and possibly an accident.
