Overview of summer tires, rims - GF40.10-P-1002MXC

MODELS 220 (except 220.073 /074 /075 /083 /084 /087 /173 /174 /175 /176 /183 /184 /187) with AMG disk wheel 

NOTES The recommended wheel/tire combinations apply only when the dimensions are entered in the vehicle documentation at the factory or when a corresponding part certification is present. For tire/wheel combinations, not entered in the vehicle documentation/title, a corresponding part certificate/approval certificate is to be given to the customer.

NOTES All wheel/tire combinations listed here may be mounted without further cause only when they are listed in the vehicle papers under items 20 to 23 and 33 or the required TUV approval is available. The respective size designation of the rim is only binding for the specified vehicle model series. Deviations in the contour of the wheel or the brake system can lead to hitting on adjacent components on other models in spite of the same nominal dimensions and therefore affecting the operating safety.

NOTES In the Federal Republic of Germany, a modification approval is required from an officially recognized expert or tester from a technical testing point for motor vehicles or by a testing engineer by an officially recognized supervisory organization is required for wheel/tire combinations which require conversion work on the body and/or chassis.

NOTES Unless otherwise specified, all disk wheels are permissible in light-alloy versions only.

IMPORTANT The recommended tire makes are listed in alphabetical order. No suggestion of priority is intended.
