Spare Tire GLE350 4Matic

Does the 2017 GLE come with a spare or is it just the run flats? Can you order a spare tire for the car?

I wish they had made enough space for that spare in the GLE550e. I would get one but the battery takes up all the space.

Are you referring to the GLE SUV or Coupe? The Coupe normally comes with a minispare, what most people call a doughnut. If you get the B & O audio system, you get a repair kit instead, as some of that space is utilized by the audio system. Then, there's a third option of an inflatable spare. I have no idea what determines which vehicles get that. I think it may be country specific.
