Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML.
About this generation
Mercedes-Benz fits run-flat tyres on many ML 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.
The Mercedes-Benz ML 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.
Chassis code: W164. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What tyre size does the 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz ML include 255/60 R17, 255/55 R18, 275/50 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Mercedes-Benz ML?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Mercedes-Benz ML?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Mercedes-Benz ML drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
Are premium-brand tyres worth it on a Mercedes-Benz ML?
On a Mercedes-Benz ML, 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.
What wet grip should I look for on the Mercedes-Benz ML?
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.
