Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: Wheel and tire combinations
Please bear the following in mind
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you only use Tires and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your
vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted for use with the control systems, such as ABS or ESP®, and are marked as follows:
• MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
• MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
• MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only
certain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires may only be used on wheels that have been specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Certain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise emissions or fuel consumption, may otherwise be adversely affected. In addition, when driving with a load, tire dimension variations could cause the tires to come into contact with the bodywork and axle components. This could result in damage to the tires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for damage resulting from the use of tires, wheels or accessories other than those tested and approved.
Further information about tires, wheels and approved combinations can be obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The Tire and Load Information placard
with the recommended tire pressures is
attached to the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Further information about driving at high speeds or driving with vehicle loads that are lighter than the maximum vehicle load can be found in the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap. Check tire pressures regularly, and only when the tires are cold. Comply with the maintenance recommendations of the tire manufacturer in the vehicle document wallet.
For further information on the recommended tire inflation pressure and on tire pressures for specific driving conditions, see.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle:
• with tires of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
• with the same type of tires at a given time
(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended
tires)
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires
are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the
factory. It is therefore recommended that
you additionally equip your vehicle with a
TIREFIT kit if you mount tires that do not
feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter tires.
A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
On the following pages, you can find
information on approved wheel rims and
tire sizes for equipping your vehicle with
winter tires. Winter tires are not available
from the factory as standard equipment or
optional extras.
If you want to equip your vehicle with approved winter tires, it may be necessary to obtain wheel rims in the corresponding size, as the size of the approved winter tires may differ from the standard tires. This is dependent on the model and the equipment installed at the factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further information, can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Overview of abbreviations used in the
following tire tables:
• BA: both axles
• FA: front axle
• RA: rear axle
In the following table, the wheel/tire combinations are allocated to the vehicle models through variants, e.g. V1, V2 etc.:
