About this generation
The current-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class (2013-2020) is sold in the UK with a small set of factory tyre sizes per trim. Replacement tyres should match the size, load index and speed rating of what came on your specific car.
This generation of the S-Class runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
Chassis code: W222. 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 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class include 245/50 R18, 245/45 R19, 255/40 R20, 255/35 R21. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
Is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class still on sale in the UK?
As of the 2013-2020 window, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was on sale in the UK during this period. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.
What wet grip should I look for on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
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.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Mercedes-Benz S-Class drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
What should Mercedes-Benz S-Class drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
