Mercedes-Benz EQA tyres
The Mercedes-Benz EQA leaves the factory on 235/45 R20 and 235/50 R19 and 235/55 R18 depending on wheel size, and the 235/55 R18 104T XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The Jaecoo E5 takes the same size.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
Continental announced the EQA on its EcoContact 6 in three square sizes, 235/55 R18, 235/50 R19 and 235/45 R20, with a narrower 215/60 R18 WinterContact as the factory winter choice.
All three summer sizes are T-rated, 190 km/h, and each carries a load index that is only reachable as XL in that size: 104 on the 18in, falling to 100 on the 20in.
The width stays at 235 across all three wheels, so the 20in is no wider than the 18in; it simply has about 23 mm less sidewall, roughly 106 mm against 129 mm.
No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 235/55 R18. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Mercedes-Benz EQA take?
- It runs 235/45 R20 and 235/50 R19 and 235/55 R18. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Mercedes-Benz EQA?
- Only at 235/55 R18 104T XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
