Runflat vs Non-Runflat

Many S63 AMG models come equipped with runflat tyres.

At Autosport Tyreworld, we can convert to non-runflat for improved comfort if desired.

Important Fitment Notes

• AMG staggered setup must not be rotated front to rear

• Ensure load index ≥ OEM specification

• Speed rating must be Y-rated or higher

• Check brake clearance (especially with 21” wheels)
