Cheap Mercedes-Benz X-Class Tyre

The X-Class was sold in the UK from 2017 to 2020 as a single generation with no facelift, and depending on the variant it used different tyre sizes — the X 220d and X 250d typically ran 265/60 R18 as standard, while the X 350d and higher-specification variants could run 265/50 R20 or similar wider, lower-profile fitments. Because tyre size is tied to the wheel and suspension setup rather than the body, confirming the exact size currently fitted to your vehicle is straightforward — check the placard inside the driver's door or the sidewall of your existing tyres. Used tyres from a breaker must match your current rim diameter and width exactly, so always confirm the full size code before ordering.

The X-Class ran as a single unchanged generation throughout its entire UK production life from 2017 to 2020 with no facelift or mid-cycle running change that affected wheel or tyre specifications, so a tyre from a 2017 car can in principle match one from a 2020 car provided the size codes are identical. However, the fitment depends on the specific trim and drivetrain of each car rather than the year alone, since higher-output variants like the X 350d could carry different wheel sizes to the entry-level X 220d. Always confirm the full tyre size — width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter — matches between the donor car and your vehicle before purchasing from a breaker.

Trim level names such as Progressive, Styleline, and Power on the X-Class do not by themselves determine tyre fitment — what matters is which wheel size was fitted to that specific donor vehicle, which can vary with engine output and optional wheel upgrades regardless of trim badge. A Power-badged X 350d may well carry larger-diameter wheels than a Progressive X 220d, so the engine variant is the more reliable guide to expected tyre size. Confirm the full tyre size code with the breaker against both your registration and the donor vehicle's registration to be sure the sizes match.

A breaker can sell you a single used tyre from a dismantled X-Class, and there is no rule preventing this, but for safety and handling balance it is strongly recommended to fit matching tyres in pairs on the same axle. The X-Class is a four-wheel-drive vehicle based on the Nissan Navara platform, and mismatched tyre sizes or significantly different tread depths on the same axle can cause issues with the drivetrain and stability systems. Always check that a used tyre from a breaker has adequate remaining tread depth and matches the size, load index, and speed rating of the tyre on the opposite side of the same axle.

The X-Class shares its platform and some suspension components with the Nissan Navara NP300, and in practice the two vehicles can share compatible wheel and tyre sizes in some configurations, but you should not assume any Navara tyre or wheel will fit your X-Class without checking the full size code carefully. Mercedes fitted the X-Class with its own wheel specifications and the bolt pattern, offset, and tyre size must all be confirmed to match before fitting any part from a different vehicle. Raise this directly with the breaker and confirm against your specific registration rather than assuming platform compatibility guarantees a direct swap.

The X-Class is a pickup truck and its tyres carry a load index rating that reflects the vehicle's gross vehicle weight, so it is important that any replacement tyre meets or exceeds the minimum load index specified on the tyre placard inside your driver's door jamb. Using a tyre with an insufficient load index is both a safety risk and an MOT failure point, and this is particularly relevant when buying used tyres from a breaker where the donor vehicle's specification may have differed from yours. Always confirm the load index and speed rating with the breaker, and cross-reference against your vehicle's placard before fitting.
