The Mercedes-Benz E500 comes equipped with a compact spare tire often referred to as a "donut" or "space-saver" tire. This specially designed emergency spare tire is smaller and lighter than the vehicle's standard tires, and is intended for temporary use only, in case of a flat tire or blowout. The compact spare tire for the Mercedes-Benz E500 is typically a T125/80D17-size tire, fitting a 17-inch wheel. It's noteworthy that the compact spare should be inflated to approximately 60 psi (or as advised by the manufacturer instructions), and should not be used at speeds exceeding 50 mph as it is not built to endure high-speed driving or replacing a regular tire permanently.
