Random Badging Question...?
Did Mercedes at any time badge sport models as sport? There's a couple CLA's running around my city that are badged with a sport emblem in the same place that other Mercedes are badged biturbo etc. I looked around online and saw that Mercedes OEM Sport badges can be ordered.
Why did Mercedes stop badging sport models if in fact they did previously? I actually found a gorgeous sport special edition badge, however, is that silly to put on your car?

I have never seen "sport" badge on any mercedes model. Altough it could be about marketing, depending on countires and dealers.
Where I live, if the car has AMG package, it is badged with "//AMG ". Even they are advertised as "Mercedes Benz C250 AMG"

Back to original topic:: Why not use high performance non-run-like-crap tires on the S-xx0
There is a thing called "too much tire".
When a tire has a lot of grip but the suspension is still rather plush, the grip of the tire can cause { excessive roll in turns, excessive dive in severe braking } which can lead to putting the suspension in a position it was not optimized for* leading to loss of control. (*) would never have encountered with standard tire grip levels.
Just like springs need to be matched to shocks, to a good extent, tires need to be matched to the rest of the suspension, too.
