1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Spare Tire
The Mercedes-Benz 300SL, an iconic luxury sports car from the 1950s, was equipped with a spare tire kept in a specialized compartment within the vehicle. This was a standard practice during that era for all cars, including the 300SL, for emergency situations like flat tires while on the road. As for the type and size of the spare tire, it would normally match the specifications of the vehicle's original tires, which in the case of the 300SL, are typically either 6.70 x 15 or 185VR15 size tires depending on the exact model and year. This means the spare tire would also be either 6.70 x 15 or 185VR15 size, ensuring that it would fit perfectly in place of a damaged or flat tire.
1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL comes with 1 OEM tire size option.
