Wheels 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. See your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer 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 "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 mounting bolts be fastened to a tightening torque of 80 ft.lb. (110 Nm) whenever wheels are mounted. For rim and tire specifications, refer to "Technical Data". Warning ! Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have sustained damage, replace them. When replacing rirns, 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. Rotating Wheels Rotation of wheels with summer tires does not apply to model C 43 AMG. The wheels can be rotated according to the degree of tire wear while retaining the same direction of travel. Rotating, however, should be carried out at the scheduled service intervals, 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. Important ! Unidirectional tires must always be mounted with arrow on tire sidewall pointing in direction of vehicle forward movement. Notes: Thoroughly clean the inner side of the wheels any time you rotate the wheels or wash the vehicle underside. The use of retread tires is not recommended. Retread tires may adversely affect the handling charac teristics and safety of the vehicle. Dented or bent rims can cause tire pressure loss and damage to the tire beads. For this reason, check rims for damage at regular intervals. The rim flanges must be checked for wear before a tire is mounted. Remove burrs, if any. Check and ensure proper tire inflation pressure after rotating the wheels. For Tire Inflation Pressure refer to Index. Spare Wheel (except C 43 AMG) Important ! The spare wheel rim is mounted with a full size tire of the same type as on the vehicle, and is fully functional. However, that spare wheel rim is weight optimized and has a limited service life of 12 000 miles (20 000 km) use before a standard wheel rim must replace it. In the case of a flat tire, you may temporarily use the spare wheel. Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare wheel mounted. Unidirectional tires must always be mounted with arrow on tire sidewall pointing in direction of vehicle forward movement. If the arrow on tire side wall does not point in direction of vehicle forward movement when using the spare wheel, observe the following restrictions: Drive to the nearest tire repair facility as soon as possible. For rim and tire specifications, refer to "Technical Data". Warning ! The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km) may cause wheel rim failure leading to an accident and possible injuries.
