FACTORY-APPROVED SUMMER/ALL-SEASON/WINTER TIRES,
FACTORY-APPROVED SUMMER TIRES FOR ACCESSORY WHEELS
AND STEEL WHEELS FOR WINTER TIRES
This following is a list of summer/winter tires, steel wheels and snow chains currently approved by DaimlerChysler AG for all Mercedes-Benz models
sold in the USA/Canada by MBUSA/MBC starting 1986 through 1999. A chart showing the maximum speed ratings is also included.
We recommend that only DaimlerChrysler AG approved tires be used on any Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
Note:
Some of the approved tires listed may not be factory installed on USA or Canadian Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and may not be available in the
USA or Canada, or their production may be discontinued by the manufacturer. If the original tire is no longer available for replacement purposes, a
replacement tire from the same manufacturer with the same size, speed and load rating but with a different sidewall and/or tread pattern may be
substituted.
For those models where the Operator's Manual indicates there is sufficient clearance for snow chains, approved snow chains can be purchased directly
from:
RUD Chain Inc.
P.O. Box 8145
Cedar Rapids, IA 52408
Phone: (319) 390~040
The approved snow chain model is the Euromatic S.

Speed and load ratings for the previous VR tires can be confirmed by the individual tire manufacturer.
^
The tire speed rating symbol "W" has been added to the familiar speed symbols "Q/R/S/T/H/V/VR/ZR". This new symbol is used to designate tires
approved for a top speed of 162 mph. When installing new tires, these tires can be used to replace VR and ZR tires, because the affected vehicles
have a limited top speed of 150 mph.
