The tire specification model for the Mercedes-Benz S600 is 245/40R20 for the front tires and 275/35R20 for the rear tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims, supporting the vehicle body, cushioning external impacts, ensuring contact with the road surface, and maintaining the vehicle's driving performance. The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz S600 are 5290 mm in length, 1921 mm in width, and 1503 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3216 mm. The Mercedes-Benz S600 features front-engine rear-wheel drive and front-engine four-wheel drive configurations, with both front and rear suspensions using double-wishbone independent suspension, and the body structure is a unibody design.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S600 for ten years. The original tire specifications are typically 255/40 R20, a size that's quite well-designed. The 40 aspect ratio provides good vibration absorption on bumpy roads, ensuring a comfortable ride. Based on my daily driving experience, I regularly check the tire pressure, maintaining it between 2.4 and 2.6 bar for the front and rear tires respectively. This helps prevent excessive tire wear and extends their lifespan. For tire brands, Mercedes recommends Michelin or Pirelli. I'm currently using Michelin Primacy 4, which offers excellent wet grip performance. I make it a habit to rotate the tires every 8,000 kilometers or so to prevent uneven wear on the front tires. The 255 width also provides good water drainage in rainy conditions, prioritizing safety. When replacing tires, never skimp on quality by choosing inferior brands. Aged tires are prone to blowouts at high speeds, so it's best to replace them every four years.

As an auto repair technician, I've handled tire maintenance issues for multiple Mercedes-Benz S600 models. The factory specifications are typically set at 255/40 R20. This size matches the vehicle's suspension system, and arbitrarily switching to smaller rims may compromise handling. During service, I always check the tread depth - replacement is mandatory when it wears below 1.6mm to prevent hydroplaning risks in wet conditions. Tire pressure measurement is equally critical, with the standard value around 2.5 bar. For maintenance, I recommend wheel alignment and balancing every 20,000 kilometers to prevent vibration-induced wear. When replacing tires, opting for OEM-approved brands like Pirelli P Zero is advisable, costing approximately ¥2,000 per tire, though neglecting repairs could lead to greater expenses.

Since my youth, I've been fond of the dynamic experience offered by the Mercedes-Benz S600. The factory-fitted 255/40 R20 tires ensure precise steering and excellent stability during high-speed cornering. Tire performance is crucial; for instance, the Michelin Pilot Sport leads in handling, and its drainage groove design ensures safety in rainy conditions. Maintenance is straightforward—I check the tire pressure monthly to ensure it's optimal, as too low pressure can affect braking distance. A money-saving tip: opting for cost-effective brands like Hankook can halve expenses, but never at the expense of safety.
