1997 Mercedes-Benz E300 Spare Tire
The Mercedes-Benz E300, like many luxury vehicles, does not come with a standard spare tire. Instead, the E300 is typically equipped with run-flat tires, which are capable of running without air for around 50 miles at a speed of up to 50 mph, allowing the driver to reach a safe location or auto repair shop seamlessly without having to immediately change the tire. However, for those who prefer to have a spare tire on hand, a compact temporary spare tire, often referred to as a "donut," can be purchased separately. The size of the spare tire will depend on the car's model year and specification, but it is often smaller and narrower than the standard tire with a recommended maximum speed of 50 mph. It would be best to consult with an automotive professional or a Mercedes-Benz dealer to ensure you get the correct tire size, taking into account the size of the rims and the car's weight.
1997 Mercedes-Benz E300 comes with 1 OEM tire size option. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Mercedes-Benz dealership to confirm the correct 1997 Mercedes-Benz E300 spare tire size.
