You are the lucky recipient of a set of run flats in lieu of a spare (the AdBlue reservoir is where the spare should be). I switched out to regular tires and put a plug kit in the back, just in case. I hate the way run flats ride.

LMAO!!!
Oh man, they got me good, too!!! I was messin' up my dress pants for a good 5 mintues looking for it!
And within the first 30 seconds, my left brain told me I didn't have one, but right brain kept saying, "Naw, Man, it's a Mercedes, of course there's a spare tire!". And the more I looked, the more I kept thinking, "This thing must have a REALLY small spare tire!" LMAO!!!!!
@KiPF,
Thank you, Sir, for the excellent advice
I am actually talking to my friend, Ebay, about a good emergency tire repair kit right now.

If it started out with the run flat tires and you are now going to regular tires, you can get this:
Vehicles with MOExtended system are
not factory-equipped with a TIREFIT kit.
When retrofitting with tires that do not have
run-flat characteristics, e.g. winter tires,
you should also equip your vehicle with a
TIREFIT kit. TIREFIT kits are available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Look under the left 2nd row seat, you might have it already if it didn't come from the factory with run flats.

See my reply: https://mbworld.org/forums/gl-class-...-question.html
Also you can check any wrecking yard for the GL 450/550 compact spare tires.
