At-a-glance fitment comparison

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.

What the fitment research shows

This page is a size-checked shortlist for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class, not a universal recommendation for every trim. The researched fitment sizes are 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18, and the shortlist is summer tyres only. Because trim, wheel option and market can change the correct size, confirm the current tyre sidewall or vehicle placard before buying, then compare only exact matches on the retailer page.

How the shortlist differs by shopper need

The price spread runs from £59.76 to £148.19, so value depends on whether you want to save money, prioritise brand familiarity or spend more for a particular use case. The Nexen N blue HD Plus looks like the budget-oriented option on price alone, the Continental EcoContact 6 is the efficiency-focused comparison option, and the Bridgestone Turanza T005 suits shoppers looking for a more balanced touring feel with stronger wet-road confidence. The ContiSportContact 5 in 225/40 R18 is the clearest performance-leaning option in the set, so it fits a different driver profile again.

How to choose the right tyre for this A-Class

Start with the tyre size on the current sidewall, then use the vehicle placard if you need a second check. On this shortlist, the exact matches are Continental EcoContact 6 205/55 R16 91V Summer from £78.13-£120.90, Nexen N blue HD Plus 205/55 R16 91V Summer from £59.76-£86.37, Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/45 R17 91W Summer from £90.32-£130.97, Bridgestone Turanza T005 225/40 R18 92Y Summer from £88.92-£115.48, and Continental ContiSportContact 5 225/40 R18 92Y Summer from £92.58-£148.19. Match the exact size first, then check the load index and speed rating printed on the sidewall and shown on the live listing, and only then compare stock, delivery and price. If your car currently uses run-flat tyres, confirm the run-flat marking before ordering.

Why the same 2017 A-Class can need different sizes

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class can wear different tyre sizes depending on trim, wheel option, market and even previous wheel changes, so model name alone is not enough. That is why this guide only includes the researched sizes 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18, rather than guessing across the range. If the sidewall, placard and handbook do not agree, ask a qualified tyre fitter to confirm the correct fitment before ordering.

What the shortlisted summer tyres are suited to

The Continental EcoContact 6 is the efficiency-led comparison option, so it makes sense for commuters who want a calmer, more economy-minded summer tyre. Bridgestone’s Turanza T005 is the more rounded touring choice in the available product information, with public review themes pointing to strong wet-road confidence alongside everyday comfort. The ContiSportContact 5 in 225/40 R18 is the more performance-leaning fitment, while the Nexen N blue HD Plus is the budget comparison option by price rather than by a strong review trail.

What’s missing from the live product pages

The retailer checks could not fetch full product-page details for these Tyres.net items, so shoppers should treat this as a careful shortlist rather than a final buy decision. That means the latest stock, delivery cost, exact variant, load index, speed rating and any run-flat notes should all be confirmed on the live listing before placing an order. It is also why this page compares only exact-size matches and avoids broad claims about every A-Class tyre.

Where value comes from on this shortlist

The cheapest tyre is not the best value if the size or rating is wrong for your car, so fitment comes first and price comes second. Once the size is confirmed, use the £59.76 to £148.19 spread to judge whether you want a budget-oriented option like the Nexen, an efficiency-focused Continental, a touring-oriented Bridgestone or the sportier Continental fitment in 18-inch form. Always check the latest retailer price, stock and delivery terms because those can change before you buy.

Buying questions

Can the same 2017 Mercedes-Benz A-Class use different tyre sizes?

Yes. This model can take more than one researched size, including 205/55 R16, 205/50 R17, 225/45 R17 and 225/40 R18, depending on trim, wheel option and market. That is why you should match the tyre sidewall or vehicle placard on your own car before ordering, rather than relying on the model name alone.

How do I confirm the correct size before ordering?

Check the current tyre sidewall first, then use the vehicle placard if you need a second check. Match the exact size, then confirm the load index and speed rating on the listing as well. If the sidewall, placard and handbook do not agree, ask a qualified tyre fitter to confirm the correct fitment before you buy.

Are all tyres on this page summer tyres?

Yes. The shortlist on this page only includes summer tyres, including Continental EcoContact 6, Bridgestone Turanza T005, Continental ContiSportContact 5 and Nexen N blue HD Plus in the researched sizes. If you need all-season or winter tyres instead, you should use a different guide.

How should I compare the matching tyres?

Compare them by exact size first, then by price, brand familiarity and your driving use case. The EcoContact 6 and Turanza T005 have public review themes to help with the choice, while the Nexen option is mainly the budget comparison on price and the ContiSportContact 5 is the more performance-leaning 18-inch fitment.

Should I check load index, speed rating and run-flat markings before buying?

Yes. Even when the tyre size matches, the load index and speed rating still need to match the car and the product listing. If your current tyres are run-flat, check for that marking before ordering; if the live listing is unclear, wait and verify it before you buy.
