I just switched to non run flats so I purchased a used spare tire A2074000102 (Ebay) and Mercedes Benz spare tire bag A0005850000 (dealer).

I also ordered the A2055800100 toolkit from the dealer $81.00 + tax




Anyone know what this is for?




Unboxing video (not me) My kit has the same exact box and same exact contents.

I'd get a small bottle jack (check extended height) to replace the MB jack - and add a can of fix-a-flat... (MB "Tire Fit" can is pricey)

My tool kit arrived today too. I replaced the runflats with Pilot Sport AS3+'s this week.
It was the last part of my kit (air compressor, plug kit and now tools)
I found it odd, that it was a box of parts and a separate (way too big) bag to put it all in.
So much cheaper in the US, the best I found in Canada was $157 CAD (~$110 USD)
My best guess is that the base plate (shim plate) is to place under the jack base if you don't want to damage your driveway - there are some sharp spikes on the foot of the jack that might cause some damage to concrete or asphalt.

I have a spare that I purchased on ebay and the bag and tool kit that I purchased from an online MB dealer too.
I thought the plate was to put on the dirt or gravel on the side of the road so the jack would not sink while lifting the car. My guess.

Silverbird

Yeah, that makes even more sense, the base of the jack itself is pretty small and would just sink into any kind of dirt or sand.

It all fits.

Did your space saver wheel fit on the front? i believe you said you had the larger calipers.

benzdude

I can confirm it fits the back, but another commenter confirmed it fits the front on another mbworld post.

Thanks for the image. Do you think a med/lg suitcase would still fit in the trunk with the tire in place? Hard to tell how much total height is lost from that angle.

benzdude

11 inches of space (height) left with the spare tire in place.

Can I use this spare on my 2015 C300 which has a staggered set-up with 225/40/R19 and 255/35/R19 size tires?

Thanks,
