Mercedes of the S-class W202

1993-2000 of release

Repair and operation of the car

The S-class Mercedes models, depending on the equipment, are equipped with tires and wheels of various sizes. The size, along with rim width, determines also press fitting depth. Depth of a press fitting represents the size from the middle of a rim to a wheel niche prileganiye surface to a brake disk.

All disk wheels have the pressed ledge which at very sharp driving on turns prevents the rim pressure upon the tubeless tire.

If tires and / or ободья which are not specified in the passport of the car are installed, it is necessary to bring them in the passport. For this purpose, as a rule, permission to their use from Mercedes is necessary.

All data on pressure of air are provided for cold tires. The increase in pressure resulting from long driving in tires on 0,2 bars should not be pitted.

Air pressure in the tire of a spare wheel corresponds to the maximum pressure at full loading.

As a result of continuous technical development by perhaps admissible there can be other values of pressure of air in tires and other combinations the tire rim for older models. Therefore we recommend to request urgent specifications in specialized repair shops.

Producers recommend to use tires only up to the depth of profile of 1,6 mm, on all surface of a protector depth of a profile has to be not less than 1,6 mm. However replacement of summer tires is for safety reasons recommended with a depth of profile of 2 mm and winter tires with a depth of profile of 4 mm.

Marking of disks

Example: 6 J x 15 H2 ET31:

6 = wheel rim width in inches
J = alphabetic reference of height and contour of onboard gas station of a rim
x = designation of a one-piece rim with the deep basis
15 = diameter of a rim in inches
H2 = an external and internal profile of a rim with a ledge shoulder
ET31 = depth of a press fitting is 31 mm.

Marking of tires

Example:

If between data 14 and 89 there is a designation N + S, then it indicates tires with a winter profile.

Alphabetic reference of speed costs after designation of the size of the tire. Symbols of designation of speed belong both to summer, and to winter tires.

Date of production of tires

Date of production is specified on the tire in a code of the manufacturer.

Example: DOT CUL2 of UM8 064 TUBELESS

DOT = U.S. Department of Transportation
CU = the reduced designation of the manufacturer of tires
12 = size shinyum8 = tire design
064 = date of production = the 06th week 1994
= symbol of the current decade (1990 - 1999)
TUBELESS = the tubeless tire (TUBETYPE = the tire with the camera).
