all we have is roadside assistance phone #. Well, if you can use that sealant and air pump , maybe it will work and good enough to get you to nearest safe place to stop
Confirmed [on 2018 E63S] No spare, No jack, No wrench.
Tried the roadside assistance button but call wouldn't go through from my mountainside location. Had to get out of the car and call Mercedes assistance number from my iPhone. Had to wait 3 hours for truck to arrive. In my case it was an inner sidewall puncture from a sharp rock I apparently hit while cornering - never saw the rock. Tried the inflater initially before the sidewall puncture was discovered. Zero pressure increase with my puncture, but with a smaller puncture the fix-a-flat and the inflator would probably be OK.
Had to buy a new rear tire. I was planning to replace the tires anyway in just a few weeks anyway so that wasn't that big of a deal. Primary bummer was I didn't get the chance to spend some quality time in drift mode to polish off the remaining rear tread before the tire swap
I carry a plug kit in my Jeep and it also has a full blown compressor built into the winch, but thankfully haven't had any flats myself. Had meant to add a plug kit to the Merc as well but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Wouldn't have helped in this case, but will put one in there anyway along with an additional fix-a-flat can.
BTW, the roadside assistance was no charge which was a blessing as I was about 40 miles from the dealership.

Reason: Add missing thoughts.
I had a nail in my front left. Used the fix a flat stuff and it worked like a charm. Got me to my destination (highway) and then back home 50 miles. Got a new tire three days later and it never lost a pound until replacement. Quite good stuff actually.

Hehe, but the tech that has to remove the punctured tire and clean off the goop will be cursing your name.
I ordered the 19” diameter OEM winter wheel/tire combination offered for the E63S Wagon and haven’t been disappointed. Handling is excellent on bare dry/wet roads and performance in our first snowfall (1” - 2” wet snow) was fantastic despite the fact that the wheel/tire widths weren’t minus sized.
That is a shop rag in the milky sealant The culprit
I was there for the replacement. Was not a big deal actually. The sealant stays in milky liquid form. Easy to clean.

Tires arrived and took delivery last night. We are in the midst of a major snow storm. Happy to report with the upgraded 4Matic and the square Dunlop ,
SP WINTER SPORT 3D - SIZE: 265/35R20
the new Hammer handled everything with aplomb and zero drama. Recommended.
Pic out the window shows the patio table that was bare of snow 3 days ago.

I tried Dunlop in 275/35 didn’t fit my wheels 20”. They were sticking out for too much.
Hello,
Im picking up mine tomorrow and Monday im going to get the same MB winter tire setup that you have. Amazing how almost no one could confirm the 2018 MB winter wheel/tire stagard setup will fit the 2019 model. Maybe some day MB website will be updated for the 2019 models when the 2020 come out.
Cheers,

The rims are part #s in the US
A2134014600
A2134012600
I’m not sure if they come with rubber but you can certainly order them from US parts departments.
I saw a set on eBay being sold by a dealership earlier this year.

Those prices are per rim without tires. Too rich for my taste for a set of winter rims.
Yeah, I just did a set of tires and mounting, $1k all-in. Much more palatable.
Good price. The 4 Dunlop Winter Sport SP in 20" were @$1200 (after mail in rebate) with mount and balance thrown in by dealer for delay. I have no knowledge of those Yokohamas, but they get decent reviews, look good in the pics and are @$300 cheaper for the 4 square 265/35-20 set up.
I think a few kk the back when I was looking for Dunlop’s they didn’t have them, otherwise I would have gone with them. That said...I am having way too much fun with the Pirelli Sottozero III’s in the snow. First button I press now is ESP off ha.
I’m looking to go to 19” for a winter set up. Major reason is despite not being freezing yet, my summer tyres are not liking 3-4 degrees and I’m finding my 20” set up quite harsh on some roads.
I have no experience in this area but not looking to break the bank as intemd using my summer set up every year as well.
i came upon a site in the UK with the following, does anyone with experience have any views? I know the wheels are not high end but will they be ok? What about the tyres?
I am trying to find something in 19 with not adapter that is a quality wheels. I don't trust no name cheap china from tire rack.
It also seems that the 19 OEM are out of stock.
As far a tires probably would go with Mich all season or snow.

I finally settled on OEM 20" and all season Bridgestones. I chose to duplicate my cross forged oem wheels which I was able to secure a 20% discount, but the standard AMG wheels were only about $900 a piece.
These wheel/tire combos can be ordered in the US. They are in the MBUSA web site, and I called a local dealer a couple of days ago and they could see inventory and all that for those BQXXX part numbers.
