Like many modern vehicles, your Mercedes-Benz E-Class, including 4-Matic models from 2017-2023 (BR213), likely came equipped with run-flat tires instead of a traditional spare. While run-flat tires offer the temporary convenience of driving without air pressure, they often fall short in terms of ride comfort, handling, and cost-effectiveness. Many Mercedes E-Class owners find themselves seeking a better alternative. Run-flat tires are notoriously expensive to replace and frequently cannot be repaired after even minor damage. If you’re looking to switch to more comfortable and affordable conventional tires without sacrificing peace of mind, the Modern Spare tire kit offers the ideal solution. Specifically engineered for your Mercedes E-Class, Modern Spare provides a purpose-built spare tire solution designed to exceed expectations.
Precision-Engineered Design for Your Mercedes E-Class
At Modern Spare, we understand the unique requirements of your Mercedes-Benz. That’s why we’ve meticulously designed our spare tire kit to be incredibly user-friendly while providing superior performance. We utilize a custom-engineered aluminum alloy wheel that is significantly lighter and stronger than traditional steel wheels. This lightweight design translates to several benefits for your Mercedes E-Class. Firstly, it makes the spare wheel and tire combination much easier to handle during a tire change. Secondly, it minimizes any negative impact on your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy compared to carrying a heavy, full-sized spare tire. Importantly, our alloy wheel meets or surpasses all current DOT highway safety standards, ensuring the highest levels of quality and safety.
Each Modern Spare wheel is paired with a robust, space-saving tire featuring a DOT “M” speed rating. This “M” rating signifies that the tire has been rigorously tested for sustained speeds of 81mph. While we recommend adhering to a 50mph speed limit for spare tires as advised by some tire manufacturers, we’ve selected these “M” speed-rated tires to provide an extra margin of safety and durability, exceeding the demands of typical spare tire usage. Combined with the precisely calculated overall rolling diameter, our spare tire ensures proper compatibility with your Mercedes E-Class, allowing you to confidently reach a trusted repair shop when needed.
Superior Tools for Effortless Tire Changes
We’ve all experienced the frustration of struggling with subpar tools when changing a tire. Recognizing this, Modern Spare has prioritized providing better tools in our Mercedes-Benz spare tire kit. Standard scissor jacks are often cumbersome and lack the necessary leverage to easily lift your car. To address this, we developed a custom low-profile scissor jack with a specialized ratcheting handle mechanism. This innovative handle provides ample leverage, making it significantly easier to lift your Mercedes-Benz and lower it safely and controllably. Our jack is specifically engineered to engage with the designated lift points on your vehicle, ensuring proper and secure lifting.
Dealing with a tight lug nut can be a major roadblock. The Modern Spare telescoping lug wrench eliminates this problem by extending to nearly two feet in length, providing exceptional leverage. This makes loosening even stubborn lug nuts straightforward, allowing you to quickly remove and retighten them and get back on the road with minimal delay.
Furthermore, modern vehicles like your Mercedes-Benz have very specific lift points, and using the correct jack type is crucial for safe and proper lifting. The jack head design is particularly important, as a generic or universal jack may not engage correctly, potentially causing damage or instability. We custom-design our scissor jacks in-house to be vehicle-specific, guaranteeing perfect compatibility and safe operation with your Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
As a thoughtful addition, we include a full-size, heavy-duty plastic tire bag in our kit. Transporting a full-size flat tire and wheel can be a messy affair. Using the provided tire bag to encase the damaged tire will protect your Mercedes-Benz’s interior from dirt and grime, keeping your vehicle clean during an already inconvenient situation.
Your Reliable Spare Tire Solution
It’s no secret that many automakers, including Mercedes-Benz, no longer include spare tires as standard equipment. Modern Spare is committed to being the leading manufacturer and provider of complete, high-quality spare tire kits. We’ve meticulously considered every aspect of our Modern Spare design to ensure our customers receive the best possible product and user experience. We aim to provide a reliable and convenient solution that restores the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re prepared for a flat tire.
It’s important to note that while the overall diameter of our spare tire and wheel combination is precisely matched to your Mercedes-Benz E-Class drivetrain for optimal function, it may not fit within the vehicle’s original spare tire storage space, if one exists. We offer a convenient carrying case option as a practical alternative for storing your Modern Spare kit.
For any questions or assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable and helpful team.
