Often, yes. The G-Class is heavy and many fitments require high load indices, sometimes marked XL (Extra Load). Always match or exceed the load and speed ratings shown on the vehicle placard or your existing tyres.
For balanced traction and stable handling, replacing tyres in pairs on the same axle is the minimum. On 4x4 systems, keeping tread depths closely matched across all wheels is recommended, as large differences can increase drivetrain strain.
Summer tyres suit warmer conditions and can offer strong dry handling, while all-season tyres are a popular UK choice for year-round use and improved cold and wet performance. If you travel in colder areas, look for all-season or winter tyres with the 3PMSF symbol for extra snow traction.
After selecting your tyres, you choose a local fitting garage and pick a time slot during checkout. The tyres are sent to the garage for your appointment, where they are fitted and balanced, with old tyres typically disposed of as part of the service.
