2024 GLE 350 - Tyre Size Selection
Hi, I am planning to Order 2024 GLE 350 with 3rd row seating. I know it will come with Run Flat Tires. Can you guide me whether I need to select 19 inch or 20 inch Wheel. I am looking for low cabin noise
Thanks
Thanks

Wheel/tire size choice
As others have said, the 19" tires are way undersized for some reason (about 2" smaller OD than others) and do not look appropriate. I would get the 20s for that reason alone. If you want the AMG Exterior package you need 20s to fit the brakes.

For 2024, the tire size has been updated and the 19s are now 255/55/19 instead of 255/50/19 meaning they're now essentially the same size as the overall size of the 20s and 21s and 22s.

I don't see any change in 19 inch tyre size in the 2024 Order guide listed in other thread "2024 Order Guide". It is mentioned as 255/50 R19.
Can you please let me know the source of your info regarding change of tyre size for 2024 i,e 255/55 R19.

I thought it may just be a change on the 450e plug in, and there are very few GLEs with 19s listed for sale right now, but my local dealership has one and I think it's pretty clear these are chunky tires that fill out the wheel wells well, so I'm 99% sure these are also 55 series tires like the ones on that 450e in the video.

19" tire sizes
I believe the order guide is incorrect. Check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRnocWqu-B0

'22 GLE 350e
My 350e came with 275/55R19.
I hate huge rims, so went with the smallest I could spec. My only regret is there's barely any choice of tyres in this size.
Does the 18" wheel fit the 350e? Might go for that and a bit chunkier tyre when these wear out.

In the US The Tire Rack lists 8 all-season choices (+ 1 Winter & 1 Summer) in 275/55-19, so not bad. Based on my experience I would recommend the Pirelli Scorpion Zero AS which have performed well and seem to be long lasting for me. 18s might work if you don't have the Sport brakes, but hard to know without a test fit.

I was more looking towards maybe replacing them with something more A/T oriented when this summer set wears out, since one of my uses for this car is camping. There's barely anything in a 31" A/T with 19" rim. In 18" there look to be some more options. I can ask the dealer if they have any 18" wheels kicking around I can test out at some point. I don't think I have Sport brakes since I don't have the AMG pack?

The W167 went to larger lug bolts, so any 18" wheels the dealer might have would likely not fit. I found these two choices in 31" AT tyres:
255/60-19 AT
255/60-19 AT
For the 18" wheels, I had come across these: https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/18-i...cedes-benz.htm
It explicitly mentions the V167, so should fit I think?

Oh, a 255/60R19 I hadn't looked at yet, that seems to be a good shout. Looks like there's at least a General Grabber AT3 in that size.

Not always true you will get run flat tires. I have a 3rd row seating and I got the regular tires plus a inflator kit. Talk to your dealer and make arrangements that they give you the regular tires and inflator kit. Get the 20" but make sure to think VERY well if you will size up in the future. If you think you will size up or get winter tires fork up the $1000 for the 21" now vs pay almost $8k for the entire setup later on then spend $3000 for a 20" winter setup.
