Runflat vs Non-Runflat

Many GLE63S AMG models come with runflat tyres from factory.

Pros of Runflat:

• Can drive after puncture

• No spare wheel needed

Cons:

• Harsher ride

• Higher cost

At Autosport Tyreworld, we often recommend switching to non-runflat tyres for improved comfort and grip (with tyre repair kit).

Staggered Setup Notes

GLE63S AMG uses a staggered setup:

• Wider rear tyres improve traction

• Cannot rotate front to rear

• Always replace tyres in pairs (front or rear)

Fitment Tips (Important)

• Always match load rating and speed rating (Y / (Y))

• Ensure correct offset to clear AMG brake calipers

• Use hub-centric rings if aftermarket wheels are used

• Check inner guard clearance when upgrading to 23”
