Mercedes C-Class T-Model (S204) Tire Sizes & Rim Specifications by Year and Trim

The Mercedes C-Class T-Model (S204) spans several model years, each featuring varied tire size markings depending on trim and performance packages. Standard trims typically use 16- to 17-inch rims, while AMG and sport variants may equip larger 18- or 19-inch wheels.\n\nTire size markings are crucial for matching replacement tires, shown in formats like 205/55R16 or 225/45R17, where width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter are specified. Rim width × diameter measurements vary by trim, affecting tire profile and vehicle handling.\n\nWhen comparing trims, consider both rim diameter and width as they influence tire selection. Sport trims may require wider rims for low-profile tires, improving grip and cornering but reducing ride comfort. Regular trims prioritize balanced performance and durability.\n\nConsult the specific model year and trim's tire specifications to ensure safe and optimal fitment. Using inconsistent tire sizes or rim widths can adversely impact driving dynamics and safety. Always verify manufacturer recommendations when upgrading or replacing wheels.
