The tires on a new vehicle provide a bal-
ance of many characteristics. They should
be inspected regularly for wear and correct
cold tire inflation pressure. We strongly
recommend using tires equivalent to the
originals, which have the same dimen-
sions, quality and performance when re-
placement becomes necessary.
Refer to the tire and loading information la-
bel
1
or to the tire inflation pressure label
on the driver's door B-pillar (
e page 295)
for the size designation of your tire.
The service description and load identifica-
tion will be found on the original equip-
ment tire. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect the
safety, handling, and ride of your Sprinter.
Contact an authorized Sprinter Dealer or
an authorized tire dealer with any ques-
tions you may have on tire specifications
or capability.
! Only use tires that have been tested and ap-
proved for your Sprinter. Tested and approved
tires are developed to provide the best possible
performance in conjunction with the driving
safety systems on your Sprinter, such as ABS,
BAS, ASR or ESP

.
Using non-approved tires may result in damage
that is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
They can have detrimental effects, such as:
O poor handling characteristics
