Question 2016 C450 top speed limiter

Hi all

I have and issue with my 2016 C450

For first time in two years of having the car i was able to go to the track and test the vehicle and to my surprise the top speed limiter kick in at 130 mph at 4000 rpms
now this is a concern to me when Mercedes advertised the top speed was limited to be 155 MPH, has any body with a C450 has had this issue
please let me know
Regards

limited because of the tires the car came with.

get a flash on your ECU for $1200 and that limiter is removed - but make sure your tires are up to the task.

There is a speed limit that you can set for the (winter) tires on the settings menu.
Maybe that is set to a certain value. But usually you get a warning when you hit that limit.
