Mercedes-Benz SLK280 Spare Tire
The Mercedes-Benz SLK280, as standard, doesn't come with a conventional spare tire due to its compact design and its orientation towards performance driving. Instead, the vehicle is generally equipped with a tire repair kit, including a sealant and a small compressor to inflate the tire in the event of a minor puncture. Some models may also come with run-flat tires which can maintain their shape and continue to be driven for a certain distance after being punctured. However, if a spare tire is desired, it needs to match the standard tire specification of the SLK280 which is typically a Front P225/45R17 and Rear P245/40R17 tire size. This compact spare needs to be stored in the trunk due to lack of under-car storage, which might limit cargo space. It is always recommended to contact a Mercedes-Benz dealership or tire specialist for the most suitable option for your personal requirements and conditions.
Mercedes-Benz SLK280 models manufactured from 2006 to 2008 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 24.9" to 25", 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 SLK280 years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz SLK280 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.2" to 25.8". Some SLK280 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 SLK280 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
