Tire and wheel choices

I ordered a C400 with 19 inch multi-spoke wheels (black with polished surfaces) that come with (R01) High Performance tires.

Does anyone have any details or specifications for (R01) High Performance Tires. Information from the dealer is lacking. Are they "Extended Mobility" tires? Are they summer tires or all season tires.

Usually the larger wheel options yield summer tires. Besides, all season high performance tires, while exist, are a bit of a contradiction

I selected the 19 inch multi spoke wheels for the appearance. The tires are selected by MB when the 19 inch multi-spoke wheels are chosen. I didn't have a choice of tires (at least not yet) Ideally, I'd like all season extended mobility tires for the 19 wheels. The dealer is still checking for me but I was hoping someone on this forum would have dealt with a similar issue.

Here is your answer. All R01 get summer performance

Thank you. I have a very similar picture from the order guide that was posted by The Benz Report. The note about the tire types isn't included. Can you provide a link to the order guide containing the picture you attached? There may be other information in there that I don't have.

Never mind. I found it. It's from the Decemeber 16, 2013 preliminary order guide. The most current guide that the dealers have is different. The tire and wheel choices may be they same though. I wouldn't rely completely in the Decemeber 2013 preliminary guide.

For instance:
In the December 2013 order guide -

997 Driver assistance package doesn't include BAS plus with cross traffic assist, steering assist, and pre-safe plus.

318 Interior Package doesn't include illuminated door sills and passenger seat with memory.

P44 Surround view system is available, but it's not available any more.

There are probably more discrepancies. I think that even the April 2014 order guide is still subject to change before production starts, but it is more accurate than the original December 2013 order guide.

Has anyone had any positive information that the RO1 tires are run flat and the R02 are All Season standard tires along with a spare?

I contacted Mercedes Customer Support by email and asked about the tires.this was the response, basically they don't have any information yet:


Thank you for your email to Mercedes-Benz USA.

At this time there isn't any official information regarding the details of the tires for the 2015 C400. We appreciate your contact and encourage you to check back on our website, www.MBUSA.com once further information becomes available.

We appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Sincerely,
