Mini Spare

If you have the mini or donut spare, note that the photo shows a tire filler valve for it. It’s a unique size that you won’t find at a flaps, so might be a good idea to carry a spare.



If you have the mini or donut spare, this is the part number for it … which is a unique size you will not find at a flaps. Might be a good idea to carry one.

now after so many years, the spare tire in my 2007 GL450 is totally flat and when inflating I can hear a hissing sound around the stem valve area.
I searched and did not find the right size spare tire online.
I wonder if you guys have any solution on this.
Thanks,

I took mine to the local tyre place and they put a new valve in it on the spot for $20.

Here in the US most reputable tire shops won’t touch a 12+ year tire for liability reasons.

The marks on the spare tire:
Good Year T165/90D19, inflate to 60psi, Max 50mph.

I did tell them i only need it while i work on it and i won't be driving on it. Also, i was replying because it's not a special MB only valve.
