Are you a proud owner of a Mercedes Cls 2018? You appreciate performance, luxury, and style. But like many modern vehicles, your CLS likely came without a spare tire, relying instead on run-flat tires. While run-flats offer some peace of mind, many Mercedes CLS 2018 drivers are discovering their downsides. From a harsher ride quality and compromised handling to the hefty replacement costs, run-flat tires aren’t always the ideal solution. If you’re looking to switch to better-performing, more affordable conventional tires without sacrificing security, the Modern Spare Tire Kit for your Mercedes CLS 2018 is the answer.
The Modern Spare Difference: Engineered for Your Mercedes CLS 2018
At Modern Spare, we understand the specific needs of Mercedes owners. That’s why we’ve engineered a spare tire kit specifically for your 2018 Mercedes CLS, ensuring the highest quality and optimal performance. We’ve addressed the shortcomings of run-flat tires and generic spare solutions to provide you with a superior, comprehensive kit.
Say Goodbye to Run-Flat Tire Frustrations
Run-flat tires, while designed to get you to a repair shop after a puncture, often fall short. Mercedes CLS 2018 owners frequently report:
- Poor Ride Quality: Run-flats have stiffer sidewalls, leading to a less comfortable and more jarring ride, diminishing the luxurious feel of your Mercedes.
- Handling Issues: The rigid construction of run-flats can negatively impact your CLS’s otherwise precise and responsive handling.
- High Replacement Costs: Run-flat tires are significantly more expensive to replace than conventional tires, adding unnecessary expense.
- Limited Repairability: Often, run-flat tires cannot be repaired after being driven on when flat, requiring complete replacement even for minor punctures.
The Modern Spare kit allows you to transition to conventional tires, enjoying a smoother, quieter ride and improved handling, without the anxiety of being stranded by a flat.
Superior Design and Components
Our Mercedes CLS 2018 Spare Tire Kit is meticulously designed with premium components and thoughtful engineering:
Lightweight Alloy Wheel
We utilize a custom-designed aluminum alloy wheel that is significantly lighter than traditional steel spare wheels. This offers several advantages:
- Easier Handling: The reduced weight makes the spare tire and wheel assembly easier to handle during a tire change, crucial in potentially stressful roadside situations.
- Improved Vehicle Performance: A lighter spare reduces unsprung weight, contributing to slightly improved handling and fuel economy compared to a heavy, full-size spare.
- Safety Certified: Our alloy wheel meets or exceeds all DOT highway safety standards, guaranteeing durability and reliability.
High-Quality, Speed-Rated Tire
Each kit includes a durable, space-saving spare tire with a DOT “M” speed rating. While tire manufacturers often recommend limiting speed to 50mph on temporary spares, our “M” rated tires are tested for sustained speeds of 81mph. This robust construction provides an extra margin of safety and ensures the tire can confidently handle the demands of getting you to a repair facility. The overall rolling diameter is precisely matched to your Mercedes CLS 2018 drivetrain specifications, ensuring proper vehicle dynamics and system compatibility.
Enhanced Tool Kit
We’ve addressed the common frustrations associated with standard spare tire tools. Our kit includes:
- Custom Ratcheting Scissor Jack: Unlike generic scissor jacks, ours is low-profile and features a unique ratcheting handle. This innovative mechanism provides increased leverage, making it significantly easier to lift and lower your Mercedes CLS 2018 safely and efficiently at its designated lift points. The jack head is specifically designed for Mercedes-Benz lift points, ensuring secure and proper lifting – a critical detail often overlooked by universal jacks.
- Telescoping Lug Wrench: Stubborn lug nuts are no match for our telescoping lug wrench. Extending to nearly two feet, it provides ample leverage to effortlessly loosen and tighten lug nuts, saving you time and effort.
- Full-Size Tire Bag: Changing a flat tire can be a messy process. We include a thick, full-size plastic tire bag to contain your flat tire and wheel, protecting your Mercedes CLS 2018’s interior from dirt and grime during transport.
