Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Spare Tire
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a grand tourer that was jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive, does not come with a traditional spare tire due to its construction and purpose as a high-performance vehicle. Instead, it comes with a tire repair kit that includes an air compressor and a sealant that can temporarily repair punctures up to 6mm in diameter. This kit is designed to restore mobility in the event of a flat tire so the driver can reach a service station for a permanent repair or tire replacement. The tire size for the SLR McLaren is 245/40 ZR18 for the front and 295/35 ZR18 for the rear. The vehicle is outfitted with high-speed ZR-rated tires due to its high-performance capabilities.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren models manufactured from 2005 to 2009 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.7" to 26", 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 SLR McLaren years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.9" to 26.8". Some SLR McLaren 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 SLR McLaren spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
