Tyre Selection — Mercedes-Benz Malaysia
Mercedes-Benz often fits run-flat tyres (RFT) as OEM — these cannot be puncture-repaired and must be replaced at RM 600–1,200+ per tyre. Many Malaysian owners switch to non-RFT tyres to reduce replacement cost; ensure the BMS is updated if removing RFT capability. Popular choices: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (performance), Continental SportContact 6, Bridgestone Potenza Sport. For GLC/GLE/G-Class with 18–22 inch fitments, wet-grip rating (A-class on EU label) is the priority in Malaysia's wet conditions. Replace at 4–5 years regardless of tread depth.
