bro that is terrible!!!! I' havent had any issues with my toyo t1r up front except for the normal wear. Had them for nearly 20k miles plus w/e the previous own had on them when i bought the rims and the middles are in great condition. The edges are down due to the excessive wear by our cars. although i did find a nice tear/stab wound looking gash in my back rear side wall. It looks like i rolled over a knife at such a perfect angle that it missed the rim completely and just made it into pierce the tire and come out about 1" higher...not leaking air or anything and the gash is only about an 1" wide so im not too worried just weird.

There is a member who goes by the name of "Morning After Sore" and he does these DAS/SDS tweaks. The word is who ever asks him for DAS/SDS tweaks ends up the morning after very sore....sore for weeks actually. So sore that they can't sit in front of their computer and post. I believe this is what happened to Rollnnn because he has been MIA for days.
To answer your question this is done through DAS/SDS which is the dealer computer system that they use to diagnose or change settings on Mercedes Vehicles.

C320 coupe
600 with installation at AAA exhaust... most prob did not decrease if you have a coupe it will as there wont be a real muffler at the back and I would not recommend on the c230 as it will sound ricey compare to the v6

Driving home from the work heading east on the 60 from the 101 interchange i run over one of those reflectors in the road and i hear a loud bang, like it wasnt just my tire that hit it, but my rim hit it. so i change lanes again and the same thing. its funny cuz everything felt fine. I exit the next exit pull over and my front drivers side tire is flat. I try to fill with air but you can hear it coming out as soon as it gets in...
I call AAA and tell them to bring a flatbed so i can tow it home. Tow truck driver gets there with a regular tow truck and says ill just put your spare on instead of towing. I didn't have the keys to my locks in my car, that's why i wanted to tow!!! I cleaned out my car for spocom and forgot to put them back in. so 30 mins later a flatbed comes out. He then says "your car is way too low to tow, ill rip your bumper off if i try to put it up." We all know, all you need is a couple 2x4's and it will be fine. But of course he didn't have that. Ive towed cars as low or lower than my car and its easy to put it up. Finally i had to have my brother get my lock keys, bring them out to east LA and call the tow truck driver back. what a friggin night!
Toyo T1R's are officially the ****tiest tires ever made!!!!

What made matters even worse... I didn't have those special lugs for the spare!!! 
Luckily this happened at work... but the hassle!!!

ya although running the size 19" wheels we're running you can't really use the spare can you? I thought you couldn't...
Also turns out I'm not gonna be able to do the exhaust quite yet. Got the diffuser in last week and am still looking for the tips I want. But on my drive home I must have taken on a rock chip because I was missing about a 3"x2" section of paint right down to the primer. Which I came to find was "red" primer and knowing that MB doesn't use red primer on there vehicles i discovered that my car bumber/front hood area had been re painted...very dishartening since I never knew my car was in any kind of wreck. So i'm now having to redirect my cash flow to get my hood and bumper re-painted. good thing as far as im concerned since it'll be nice having a sexy like new front end again.

Thanks Tommy, no worries guess its the sh*t you have to go through driving a lowered car in LA...
yeah dude it sucked... i didnt know i had the lugs either til i took the spare off, pretty smart of MB.
Damn that sux Rollnnn... I can imagine what you went through! I had a flat tire few months back and it's a F*&@!en Beeeootch when you car is lowered and you need to get under it with the factory jack! What made matters even worse... I didn't have those special lugs for the spare!!! Luckily this happened at work... but the hassle!!!

sorry to hear about the chip, and yes at least you will have a nice new front paint jo with no more chips.... might think of doing clear bra afterwards.

well ive been waiting for this for awhile now and it was finally delivered a few days ago. Like i said i didnt want the black grille on my car for too long and luckily it wasn't. I installed this earlier tonight. I couldnt really take good pics of it, so that will have to wait, but here it is for now.
