Find Tyres for Mercedes-Benz GLA

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Where can I find the tyre size for a Mercedes-Benz GLA?

  On a Mercedes-Benz GLA, the original tyre size is shown in three places: the existing tyre sidewall, the placard on the driver's door frame, and the vehicle handbook. The door placard is the manufacturer-specified original equipment.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Mercedes-Benz GLA?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Mercedes-Benz GLA. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• Should I fit all-terrain tyres to a Mercedes-Benz GLA?

  Standard road tyres suit the vast majority of UK Mercedes-Benz GLA drivers. Only consider all-terrain (A/T) tyres if you regularly drive unpaved roads or tracks — A/T tyres are noisier and have lower wet grip on tarmac.

• Why does the Mercedes-Benz GLA have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Mercedes-Benz GLA has had 2 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• What tyre choices suit a Mercedes-Benz GLA towing a caravan?

  For towing on the Mercedes-Benz GLA, prioritise load index, sidewall stiffness and a strong wet grip rating. Some tyre makers offer "XL" (extra-load) versions which are better suited to high-load and tow scenarios.
