Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
The G-Class uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?
Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Mercedes-Benz G-Class?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Mercedes-Benz G-Class drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
What tyre size does the 1990-2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 1990-2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class include 265/60 R18, 275/55 R19, 275/50 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Do I need SUV-rated tyres on the 1990-2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class?
SUV-rated tyres carry a higher load index for the extra weight and ride height. Match or exceed the original load index. If you do mild off-road, all-terrain (A/T) tyres trade some on-road grip for better unpaved performance.
Are tyres for the 1990-era Mercedes-Benz G-Class still available?
Yes — common sizes for the 1990-2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class remain in production from major UK brands. Some classic-specific sizes may need a specialist supplier, especially for limited or sport variants.
