2012 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Spare Tire

The Mercedes-Benz GL450, a premium luxury SUV, does not come with a standard full-size spare tire as most usual vehicles do. Instead, it is equipped with a "run-flat" tire. Run-flat tires are designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, allowing the vehicle to continue to be driven at reduced speeds (around 55 mph) and for limited distances, generally between 10 to 50 miles depending on the brand and model of the tire. The main advantage of this type of tire is that it can save the driver from having to change a tire in dangerous or uncomfortable conditions. The exact tire size for a Mercedes GL450 may change based on the specific model year of the vehicle, but a common size seen often is 275/50R20. Always check your vehicle's Owner ' s Manual or consult with a tire professional to confirm the correct tire size for your model.
