Which Spare tire to use
I have a question on which spare to buy. I have C300 4Matic with sport package, have the 19” AMG multispoke wheels that are staggered in set up. I replaced the run flat tires that I had with regular tires. My question is which spare tire to use the A2124004200 - 19” collapsible wheel/tire spare or the A2054000100 - 17” collapsible wheel/tire spare? Thanks for any help.

2015 C300 4matic
Thanks. Yeah I read the post but he had an 18” wheel as his original tire. I’m thinking I should get the 19” vice the 17” because if I do use the 17” then it would be 2” different. Seeing if anyone else had any experience or any additional info.

What is the diameter of the other spare? You should care about 1) does the caliper clear the spare rim/offset, and 2) is the spare diameter close to 26 inches

I emailed mbusa and this is the reply I got from them: “As the 2015 C300 4Matic does not come manufactured with a spare tire, neither spare would be recommended as they would take the vehicle out of MBUSA specification.” They were very helpful 🤬.

I carry a good portable tire compressor($20~$60), a tire plug kit ($5), a soppy water sprayer($1). If it's just a nail in the thread, you can inflate the tire and drive 30+ miles. Find a tire shop. Or, Drive to a safe place, find the nail, remove the nail, insert a plug, test the plug with soppy water again, done. Front tire is very easy as you can turn the handle. Rear tire could be tricky but I usually remove it. I've done this many times myself. It's easier than replacing with a spare tire. The plug lasted for lifetime of the tire. You don't need to visit a tire shop. This doesn't work for sidewall damages or big holes on thread though.
