yeah 
cracks me up i ran over a 4" to 5" Thin Metal rod a couple of months ago and it went into the tire. You know you can call mercedes and they will come out and replace your tire for you, Just so you know. I just got a another flat coupe of days ago different tire. seems like the conti pro contacts attract objects

not sure about the luxury model all i know is that my c350 came with 17' Conntinentals. Can not comment on how they stack up against the Michelins.

There are a couple threads on here trying to determine which brand comes on which cars but it appears to be a crap shoot. What ever tire they fill up the tire bin at the factory with on that certain day is what you get on your car lol.

a month ago I got my front left tire & rim thrashed scraped and slow punctured as well as a chipped side lamp.
as the roads near my job were under construction.
thankfully I had my tire & rim protection plan when I signed up,
so the only thing that came out of my pocket was $20 for the left orange side lamp.

As for me, I had a screw stuck in the sidewall of the tire at ~500 miles. Dunno how it got stuck there.
But I had it plugged up for $15 (illegal in California; the shop wasn't even supposed to do it) at a tire shop, and then replaced the tire with a new one when it arrived.

2008 BMW 335i Coupe (Six-speed Manual)
I blew out my left rear tire on the highway, and with a lot of luck and stupidity, drove for around 5-10 more miles to get to work. When I got the spare on and drove back home, I left it in my garage for a week.
Bought and installed a new tire. The next day, when I was checking its pressure through the onboard computer, I took my eyes off the road. I looked back on the road and ran over a huge rock which ended up puncturing my right front tire and bending the wheel. That was about 800-900 dollars in about a week.
