About this generation

The Mercedes-Benz GLK is an SUV/crossover, so the original tyres carry a higher load index for the extra weight and ride height. Replacement tyres should match or exceed the original load rating.

Mercedes-Benz fits run-flat tyres on many GLK models, paired with tyre pressure monitoring and no spare wheel. If your car was supplied with run-flats, replacements should typically also be run-flats.

Chassis code: X204. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Common factory tyre sizes

UK-market factory fitments for the 2008-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK typically include:

Wet grip is the most relevant EU label rating for UK driving. On the GLK, prioritise wet grip A or B for shorter braking in rain.

Mercedes-Benz works with tyre makers to develop OEM-marked versions for the GLK, tuned for the car's suspension calibration. Star, MO, AO or J markings indicate manufacturer-approved tyres.

Frequently asked questions

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

  • Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Mercedes-Benz GLK?

    On a Mercedes-Benz GLK, premium tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically deliver longer tread life, better wet grip and quieter rolling. The cost difference is usually recouped over the tyre's life.

  • How long should tyres last on the 2008-2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK?

    Typical UK tread life on the Mercedes-Benz GLK is around 20,000-40,000 miles depending on tyre brand, road conditions and driving style. Heavier trims tend to wear faster.

  • What do star/OEM markings mean on Mercedes-Benz GLK tyres?

    Mercedes-Benz approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.

  • Are all-season tyres suitable for the Mercedes-Benz GLK?

    All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Mercedes-Benz GLK drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.

  • What wet grip should I look for on the Mercedes-Benz GLK?

    For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
