E300DE Touring tyre dimensions
I just bought myself an E-class Touring 300DE 4matic 2022.
Fitted with wheels:
Front rims 8J18 ET43
Front tyres 245/45R18
Rear rims 9J18 ET52,5
Rear Tyres 275/40R18
I asked local dealer in Sweden if possible to fit 8J18 ET43 rims all around with 245/45 tyres but according to them not possible due to the weight of the car. Supposedly the fitted dimensions of wheels/tyres is the only possible option. I am looking for a new set of winter tyres for next season and as far as I can see there are 0 options for studded tyres avaliable in dimension 275/40R18.
Anyone with more insight in this? It seems to me a bit strange that it would not be possible to mount 245/45 all around. That would open up plenty more options of winter tyres.

You will have to use an alternate size tire. The best fit in a studded tire is a Nokian Nordman 225/55r18 with a load index of 102. That is 55 pounds less than the 103 load index. Keep in mind that the load index is for a fully loaded vehicle. If the vehicle isn't fully loaded, say 4 passengers instead of 5, the 102 load index will be sufficient.

What do you mean by "from a legal standpoint"? Do you mean what your local government requires by law? If so, this is probably not the best place for that advice. At least not definitively. Have you tried asking MB or the dealership?
