Selecting, mounting and replacing tires

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class / Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Owners Manual / Wheels and tires / Operation / Selecting, mounting and replacing tires

R Only mount tires and wheels of the same type and make.

Exception: it is permissible to install a different type or make in the event of a flat tire. Observe the "MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat characteristics" section  .

Only mount tires of the correct size onto the wheels.

Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km). They only reach their full performance after this distance.

Do not drive with tires which have too little tread depth, as this significantly reduces the traction on wet roads (hydroplaning).

Replace the tires after six years at the latest, regardless of wear.

Observe the notes on the emergency spare wheel  .
