Directives to be observed R Only mount tires and wheels of the same type and make. R Only mount tires of the correct size onto the wheels. R After mounting new tires, run them in at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km) as they only reach their full performance after this distance.
Depending upon the weather and/or road surface (conditions), the tire traction varies widely. Do not use tires until they are excessively worn as the tire traction on wet road surfaces decreases significantly when the tread depth is less than 1 / 8 in (3 mm).
R check the tire for foreign bodies. R check whether the wheel is losing air or the valve is leaking. R make sure that only a valve cap approved by Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire valve. Tire pressures that are too low have a negative effect on vehicle safety, which could lead you to cause an accident.
Make sure that the tire pressure for normal speeds is adopted again. Additional specifications of tire pressure values for loads can also be found on the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Weight of the occupants Occupant 1: 150 lbs (68 kg) Occupant 2: 180 lbs (82 kg) Occupant 3: 160 lbs (73 kg) Occupant 4: 140 lbs (63 kg) Occupant 5: 120 lbs (54 kg) Occupa.
Trailer load/noseweight The trailer load/noseweight affects the gross weight of the vehicle. If a trailer is attached, the trailer load/noseweight is included in the load along with occupants and luggage. The trailer load/noseweight is usually approximately 8% of the gross weight of the trailer and its cargo.
Where applicable, the tire grading information can be found on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum tire width. For example: Tread wear Traction Temperature 200 AA A All passenger car tires must conform to the statutory safety requirements in addition to these grades.
car tires must meet under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Interchanging the wheels G Warning Rotate front and rear wheels only if the tires are of the same dimension.
Tire size designation, load-bearing capacity and speed index : Tire width ; Aspect ratio in percent = Tire code ? Rim diameter A Load bearing index B Speed index i Tire data is vehicle-specific and may deviate from the data in the example.
For further information on the load bearing index, see load index ( Y page 283). Speed index: speed index B specifies the approved maximum speed of the tire. G Warning Even when permitted by law, never operate a vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum speed rating of the tires.
have been especially developed for driving on snow. An electronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from exceeding a speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). The speed index of tires installed at the factory may be higher than the maximum speed that the electronic speed limiter permits.
Tire type code: tire type code ? can be used by the manufacturer as a code to describe specific characteristics of the tire. Date of manufacture: date of manufacture A provides information about the age of a tire. The first and second positions represent the week of manufacture, starting with "01" for the first calendar week.
Wheel rim The part of the wheel on which the tire is mounted. GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) The GAWR is the maximum gross axle weight rating. The actual load on an axle must never exceed the gross axle weight rating. The gross axle weight rating can be found on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum load on one tire Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated by dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by two. PSI (pounds per square inch) Standard unit of measurement for tire pressure. Aspect ratio Relationship between tire height and tire width in percent.
Distribution of the vehicle occupants Distribution of vehicle occupants over designated seat positions in a vehicle. Maximum permissible payload weight Nominal load and luggage load plus 68 kilograms (150 lb) multiplied by the number of seats in the vehicle.
