Spare Tire
Hi all, I'm shopping for and learning about W222s ... went to look at one and the owner told me all W222s came originally with run-flats and that there is not even a place in the car where a spare could be stored, whether a 'compact', 'inflatable', etc.
I've read posts here where people have replaced run-flats with regular tires and wondering what if any plans they made for a spare tire.

As mentioned above there are a lot of chats about this issue, I actually bought a W221 19" space saver and also you will need the shorter wheel nuts to go with it, I have a feeling they are 27mm but someone may confirm that as mine are in the car at the moment.
I actually got myself a small trolley jack and that fits under the boot/trunk floor.
You will need the 17mm socket wrench as well.
The wheel and tyre is in a wheel bag and has to sit in the boot, annoying but I do not want to be caught out if I have a burst or a split ( tyre glue cannot help with a gash in the tyre )

In the long run, its a lot lighter and leaves the trunk with room for "stuff".

If you never leave a metro area, that will probably work. If, however, you like getting out into the countryside, should a road hazard happen to SHRED your run flat or conventional tire, get ready for a ride in the cab of a tow truck. Should family members be with you at the time, better hope there is a taxi, Uber, etc. available. Once you get to a local fillin’ station, good luck with them having a tire that will fit your “exotic” car. Bottom line: there is absolutely, positively no substitute for a spare (hopefully full size) in the trunk.

Yep^^We went with the W221 spare, etc., as suggested on this forum. We throw the spare in the boot for mid-long road trips. We do have AAA but at times there is no cell service so your on your own. T

Also note. If you put a spare in the trunk, you necessarily have to put some of the luggage in the rear seats.

2. I have seen the e-bay links, but do you know if there is a complete "Parts List" of all items for Spare?
Tire, Jack, Lug nuts, Insert in Tire Well to hold Jack?
3. Will the W221 fit W222 with AMG Sport Pkg?
4. Have you tested Fitment of Spare on the Front and Rear?
5. I have a Net that attached to those 4 Plastic connectors on the floor of the trunk. Tire would fit nice under there also.
6. Is this the same one as yours? https://extremewheels.com/product/co...55-70r19-113m/
Thanks !
