No spares. Humans can no longer handle changing a tire.

paglan

Right no spare and I haven't quite decoded how dealers get GLAs and runflats and some with the tire repair kit. Mine came with Bridgestone runflats but it could have just as easily come with Continental tires and the repair kit which were on some of the other cars at my dealer. They didn't have an explanation.

Runflats or Tire Repair Kits is supposed to be based on market. USA gets Runflats, Canada gets Repair Kit.

natrat

dont the 250s get runflats and the 45s get regular tires w/ fixaflat and pump

paglan

Maybe that was the intent but my dealer in CT had about a 50/50 mix and I happened to be at a dealer in PA with my father and they were all Conti's with the repair kit. Who knows what's going on but if somebody's buying one they may have the opportunity to pick the type they prefer.

Im in the process of getting a space saver spare for my GLA45 as we speak
I asked a couple of questions about the spare and they are getting back to me
You gotta have a spare in Australia...

Mort

We just picked up a new GLA 250 in Canada that came equipped with Continental ProContact SSR 235/50/18-97 and a tow hook.

Eracaza

I got the same, Continental tires, no spare, but with the tow hook!

This may be the only place to carry a spare:

olmate

I did think of that...

On second thought, I suppose you could put a bicycle rack on the hatch and carry a spare there but it would certainly obscure the license plate if it was not moved.

Evose

Picked up my GLA250 last week and there's no spare, which is how I like it.

I am at this time stock in a freeway waiting for towing truck because my front tire has a hole in a side ...really i love my new car but for the price you pay for it, should bring a runflat or at.lease a spare tire...........also i tried to find in tirerack a tun flat tire an for 235 40/r 20 the only option you can get is ...continental no run flan....realy I am so disappointed

olmate

Sorry for the situation your in but I have been harping on about this for ages

Only last week i had a bloke in an A45 with a stuffed tyre and the goo **** was as useful as mmmm...a hat full of cold water

I have my space saver on order and im not leaving for any big trips until its in the back

dwlovell

After repeatedly getting nails in my 335i runflats, I despise them. No one can repair them and they are expensive to replace. I would rather be on the side of the road and be able to plug a traditional tire.

olmate

After a bit of a ***** up regarding my space saver from Mercedes I went down a different path
After being quoted over $2000 for a space saver to suit my 45 I thought there had to be a cheaper way
I have 20" on the 45 but i went for a 19" spare wheel with a 235/45R19 tyre

The cost all up was @ $600 and less boot space
I got the wheel & nuts
Tyre
Jack
extendable wheel brace
wheel cover
tarp (so the wife doesn't get dirty....haha)
tie down straps

I can now go away knowing at least if I blow a tyre I can fix it
Im happy
