About the Mercedes-Benz C-Class's tyres
The C-Class is Mercedes-Benz's SA-built sedan. The W205 C200 Avantgarde (2014 to 2021) runs 225/50 R17, while AMG Line cars use 225/45 R18 front and 245/40 R18 rear. The W206 (2021 on) uses those 18-inch sizes on the Avantgarde, and the AMG Line takes 225/40 R19 front and 255/35 R19 rear, so check both axles.
Before you order, check the size on the sticker inside the driver's door or on your current tyres: derivatives and wheel options change the size. Read how to read a tyre size or when to replace tyres.
