How wheel size changes the cost of Mercedes-Benz GLE tyres

The cheapest Mercedes-Benz GLE fitment to re-tyre is 255/50 R19 107V XL (W166) at about £587 for a mid-range fitted set; the dearest is 275/40 R22 108Y XL with 315/35 R22 111Y XL rears (W167) at about £1,018 — 1.7 times as much.

That is 3 inches of rim, about £144 more per set for each extra inch.

3 of the 6 fitments are staggered (different front and rear sizes). Staggered tyres cannot be rotated between axles, so the driven axle usually wears out first and pairs are replaced separately.

Choosing premium over mid-range brands moves the most expensive set from £1,018 to £1,041.

How often you pay depends on wear as well as price: car tyre cost explains how 73 Auto turns these prices into a yearly figure for a specific car.
