Matched sets for your Mercedes ML
Your car takes a wider tyre on the back, so these come as a set — the same make front and rear, priced for all four fitted. Pull the shelf along for more.
OE for your car first: the sets Mercedes approved for this car, the mark on the tyre wall says which. Then the rest, best grade first, no maker twice in a row.
BMW’s approval. A star on the tyre wall means BMW tested that tyre for your model — around 50 checks, from grip and braking to wear, noise and high speed, well beyond the EU tyre label.
Not the law. A tyre without the star, in the right size and rating, is safe and legal and passes the NCT.
Why it matters most on xDrive (four-wheel drive). The front and back wheels are driven together, and the drive system allows only a tiny difference in how far each tyre travels per turn. Star tyres are made to BMW’s own measurements so all four roll alike; two tyres with the same size printed on them, from different makers, can differ by a few millimetres.
So on xDrive, keep all four the same: star on all four or none, and the front and back within about 3 mm of tread of each other. Mixing them is what wears the transfer case — and BMW dealers check it before a transfer-case warranty claim.
What we do. BMW’s star sets come first. The others fit and perform fine as a full set of four, and on xDrive we never fit a pair against star tyres on the other axle.
Why it’s first: MO1 — Mercedes-AMG: the AMG version of the Mercedes approval: the same idea, tested on the performance models for higher speeds and heat, with a stiffer casing for the extra power. The approved sets come before the rest.
Approved for BMW and Mini (*) — a different maker's fitment spec, not the Mercedes MO mark. It's the right size and rating, and fits and performs fine on this car; Mercedes's own approved sets are listed first.
No Mercedes MO mark — not Mercedes's own approved fitment, but the right size and rating: it fits and performs fine on this car.
