2014 Mercedes Benz GLK Runflat tires
« on: May 12, 2020, 20:18:24 »
I have a  Mercedes Benz 2014 Glk 250 Bluetec  with run flat tires   (235/50 r 19 Dunlop)
I am thinking about switching over to regular tubeless tires
Does anyone know what space saving spare tire I would need to buy?
Please let me know
thanks

My C300 went through a set of Pirelli run flats in 18000 miles.  I just bought Michelin MXM4 tires run flats also.  The ride is much better... We'll see if they wear better...

I have a 2017 C43 convertible and can't wait to get rid of my run flat tires.  I will choose standard tires and keep a can of Fix a Flat in my trunk.

We have a BMW Z4 of that era that came with runflats from the factory and common opinion is to replace them with regular tires when the opportunity arises. Ours rides on regular Falkens. No spare tire, we hope for the best and have our roadside assistance just in case.

I switched to good quality standard tires on both of my 3 series beemers and the ride improved tremendously.  Like Cees, I run without a spare in the car but with an assistance card in my pocket.

The Audi Q5 I had, had an UNINFLATED spare tire to save space and an air compressor in the rear right next to it, so you could inflate it....Fortunately I never had to use it.
Don't even know what the S4 has that I have now.
