Mercedes-Benz R500 Spare Tire

The Mercedes-Benz R500, a luxury multipurpose vehicle, comes equipped with a compact, temporary-use spare tire also known as a "space-saver" or "donut" spare tire. This temporary spare tire is designed to take up less room in the vehicle and allow the driver to reach a safe location or service station for permanent tire replacement. The original equipment manufacturer (OEM) spare size for a Mercedes-Benz R500 would be highly dependent on the year of production and wheel size of the model, however, it would typically be smaller than the standard tire size. Information on the exact size can be found in the vehicle's owner manual, but on average, the size could be around 155/90D18, which could slightly impact the vehicle's ground clearance and driving stability. Hence, it is advised to stick to all safety precautions listed in the owner's manual when driving with a spare tire. Always remember that this is a temporary solution, and the spare tire should be replaced with a regular tire as soon as it's possible.

Mercedes-Benz R500 models manufactured from 2006 to 2007 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 29" to 29.1", 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 R500 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz R500 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 28.1" to 30". Some R500 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 R500 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
