The table is filtered to researched tyre sizes: 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17, 225/40 R18. Compare the listed size against the current tyre sidewall first, then check load/speed rating, season and run-flat notes. Products outside those researched sizes are deliberately excluded from this vehicle shortlist.

This guide is intentionally size-first because the 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class does not use one universal tyre fitment across every trim. The researched size groups here are 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18, and the shortlist only includes exact matches to those sizes. That makes the page useful as a cautious comparison tool, not a blanket recommendation. Before choosing between Continental, Nexen or Bridgestone, confirm the size on your current tyre sidewall or vehicle placard, because wheel option, trim and market can change the correct fitment.
The shortlist spans a clear price spread, from the Nexen N blue HD Plus 205/55 R16 91V Summer at £59.76 starting price to the Continental ContiSportContact 5 225/40 R18 92Y Summer at £92.58, with the supplied set stretching up to £148.19. If you want the lowest entry price, Nexen is the obvious budget reference point; if you want a more familiar premium brand name, Continental and Bridgestone sit higher in the mix. The Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/45 R17 91W Summer is a useful direct comparison for 225/45 R17 shoppers, especially when brand familiarity and current availability matter as much as headline price.
Start with the exact size on the sidewall or vehicle placard, then compare only tyres that match that size exactly. Next, check the load index and speed rating on the product page against what is already fitted, because a matching rim size alone is not enough. If your car currently runs on run-flat tyres, verify that requirement before ordering rather than assuming any summer tyre will do. After those checks, compare current price, stock and delivery, then choose between the Continental, Nexen and Bridgestone options based on budget, brand comfort and your usual driving conditions.
A 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class can wear different tyre sizes depending on trim, wheel option, market and whether a previous owner changed the wheel package. That is why this page only shows the four researched fitment groups: 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18. Do not move to a near size or alternative size just because the brand looks right or the car is the same year. The safest final check is still the tyre sidewall on the vehicle, backed up by the placard inside the car.
All of the matching options in this shortlist are summer tyres, so the page is best for shoppers who already know summer is the right season for their driving needs. That means you should compare them on exact fitment, price, availability and the way the product line is positioned, rather than expecting a winter or all-season comparison here. The shortlist includes Continental, Nexen and Bridgestone, with the same season across the set making the key differences size, brand and price rather than tread type.
Because visible review and rating details are absent in the supplied shortlist, the safest buying checks are the ones you can verify directly: exact size, load index, speed rating, season, stock and delivery cost. For 205/55 R16 shoppers, the Nexen N blue HD Plus is the lowest starting price in the set, while Continental’s EcoContact 6 gives you a premium-branded comparison at a higher starting price. For 225/45 R17 shoppers, the Bridgestone Turanza T005 is the key like-for-like reference point, and for 225/40 R18 shoppers the Continental ContiSportContact 5 is the more performance-leaning comparison entry.
Value starts with size confidence, not the cheapest sticker price. If the fitment is correct, the Nexen N blue HD Plus 205/55 R16 91V Summer is the lowest-priced starting point in the set, while the Continental ContiSportContact 5 225/40 R18 92Y Summer sits at the higher end of the supplied range and gives shoppers a premium-brand comparison point. That spread is useful because it lets you decide whether brand familiarity, wheel size, or budget matters more for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Check the latest retailer price, stock and delivery before ordering, as those details can change.

Yes. The researched fitment sizes for this guide are 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18, but the correct one depends on trim, wheel option, market and any previous wheel changes. Always confirm the sidewall or vehicle placard before buying.
Check the current tyre sidewall first, then confirm against the vehicle placard inside the car. Match the full size and the load index and speed rating shown there, because the same model year can have more than one valid fitment depending on wheel package.
Compare brand, price, stock and delivery after the size is confirmed. The Nexen N blue HD Plus is the lowest starting price in the set, while Continental and Bridgestone give you more familiar brand comparisons; all shortlisted tyres here are summer tyres.
Yes, if the car currently uses run-flat tyres. This shortlist does not assume run-flat compatibility, so check the tyre currently fitted before ordering and make sure the replacement matches the vehicle’s existing requirement.
