Run Flats
Just checking to see if run flats are an option on the 2020 GLE350 with a 20" wheel? If not, is a full size spare an option instead on the donut?

Run flats are standard if you get the 3rd row option on 19s & 20s, but are not orderable, AFAIK, if you don't get that. A full size spare is not an option since there is not room to store it. The space saver spare is pretty good size - T155/80R19 on mine.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Is the space saver spare the standard spare it comes with or is that an option?

If I am reading this correctly, I can add the third row now and not have to get run flats with my RWB-21 wheels. Right?? Every dealer says I have to get run flats with the third row.

This makes me happy and sad. Now I can add the third row but have to add more money to my build.

Correct. 315/40-21 run flats are nonexistent, or nearly so (maybe someone know of some?).

21" tires already have very little sidewall. I can't imagine how harsh the ride would be with 21" run-flats.

The 21s have the same sidewall as 20s on the W166 and really feel quite plush with Airmatic or E-ABC. You can get 23s on the GLS.
