Mercedes-Benz SL500 Spare Tire

The Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a high-performance luxury vehicle that does not come equipped with a traditional spare tire due to its focus on optimizing weight, power, and efficiency in design. Instead, the vehicle is equipped with an innovative tire pressure monitoring system, run-flat tires, and a tire-fit tire sealant and air compressor kit to assist in situations of tire damage. The run-flat tires implemented in the design of the SL500 can continue to run for up to 50 miles at speeds of 50 mph even if they are punctured, providing sufficient time to reach a service center. The tire size for the Mercedes Benz SL500 depends on the model year, with 1989-2001 models generally using a front and rear size of 245/40R18, while 2002-2018 models may require front sizes of 255/40R18 or 285/35R18 and rear sizes of 285/35R18 or 325/30R18. However, the exact specifications can depend on the car ' s trim level and optional equipment, so one should always refer to the vehicle manual or consult a Mercedes-Benz service center for the most accurate information.

Mercedes-Benz SL500 models manufactured from 1994 to 2006 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.7" to 26.1", 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 SL500 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz SL500 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.9" to 26.9".
