Where is the Spare Tire for Mercedes-Benz?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz vehicles do not come with a spare tire. Below is extended information about Mercedes-Benz tires: Tires used by Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz models are equipped with run-flat tires. Run-flat tires consist of an outer tire, a standard inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator (or air chamber), a pressure sensor, and a control unit. Even if the tire is punctured, the vehicle can still be driven for up to 90 kilometers. Characteristics of run-flat tires: Thicker sidewalls: The sidewalls of run-flat tires are much 'stronger' than those of regular tires, both in terms of thickness and hardness. The sidewalls of run-flat tires are reinforced with rigid cord layers to ensure sufficient support to keep the vehicle running normally even when the tire is deflated. Heavier weight: Run-flat tires are significantly heavier than regular tires. Increased driving noise or fuel consumption: The heavier weight of run-flat tires results in louder noise during driving compared to regular tires.
