2024 GLE owners with 19" wheels - what factory tires were put on?
For those 2024 GLE owners with 19" wheels, I'm curious to know what tires the factory put on your car. Why? Read on.
We recently took delivery of a 2024 GLE450 with 19" wheels. The factory put Michelin "CrossClimate SUV" tires on it. Size 275/55/19. The tires are stamped "MO", so they are Mercedes Original Equipment tires.
Here's why I'm curious.....Tire Rack's description of the CrossClimate says: "The CrossClimate SUV is Michelin's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire originally developed for Original Equipment use on the Mercedes-Benz GLE and GLS (non-US market)." (bold added for emphasis)
Non-US market? Did the factory mess up and put "non-US market" tires on the car? Or is Tire Rack's site incorrect?
The CrossClimate is a highly rated tire and we're OK with the tire choice. Just wondering what other owners have on their cars.

Maybe GLS for non US markets. But GLE would be fine for US. However, I don't think there's much to concern. Mercedes Original tires will work great.
For reference, my GLE 450 21" wheel got Perelli Scorpion Zero all seasons.

I believe the key phrase in the description is "originally developed." I believe the CrossClimates were first released in Europe around 2015 or so.

We discussed it in some earlier treads and somebody pointed out that MB USA started putting 275/55R19 tires on GLEs while all online MB systems still list 255/50R19. So, it's possible that they now standardized on 275/55/R19 across the board.

DOG says 255/50R19. Only 19" wheels/tires listed. I just took delivery of a 2025 GLE450 with 19" tires, but haven't checked the size yet.
