What is the tire size of the Mercedes-Benz S65?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz S65's tire specifications are 235/55R17 for the front wheels and 235/55R17 for the rear wheels. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, and their main functions include: Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions. Transmitting traction and braking torque: Ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability; working with the car's suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components.
I've been driving my Mercedes-Benz S65 for over three years, and I clearly remember the tire sizes: 255/40 R20 for the front wheels and 285/35 R20 for the rear wheels. Specifically, 255 is the width in millimeters, 40 is the aspect ratio indicating that the sidewall height accounts for 40%, and R20 represents 20-inch rims. The rear wheels are wider to match the powerful V12 engine, providing exceptional stability at high speeds; the downside is the higher cost of tire replacement, costing several thousand each time, but performance is the priority. Regularly checking tire pressure and wear is crucial—higher pressure in summer reduces heat buildup, and lower pressure in winter prevents slipping. When replacing tires, I prefer brands like Michelin or Bridgestone for their quality and comfort. Over the long term, this size balances comfort and handling quite well, making it worth it.
