Mercedes-Benz 500SEL Spare Tire

The Mercedes-Benz 500SEL is equipped with a spare tire that is a crucial component for emergency situations. This spare tire, often referred to as a "donut", is a compact, lightweight, and temporary replacement for the vehicle's regular tire. Typically, the 500SEL comes with a full-size spare tire that matches with the size of the vehicle's standard tires. The size of the spare tire normally replicates the specifications of the original tires and, specifically, for most of the Mercedes-Benz 500SEL models, the standard tire size is 235/60R16, depending on the model year. Thus, it is recommended that Mercedes-Benz owners always check the vehicle's manual or consult with a professional to ensure the correct spare tire size for their specific model.

Mercedes-Benz 500SEL models manufactured from 1992 to 1993 have tires with overall diameter of 27.1", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Mercedes-Benz 500SEL years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz 500SEL vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.3" to 27.9".
