Mercedes-Benz E500 Spare Tire
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.
Mercedes-Benz E500 models manufactured from 1994 to 2006 have tires with overall diameter of 25.7", 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 E500 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz E500 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.9" to 26.5". Some E500 models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Mercedes-Benz E500 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
