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”
