Name Your Tires
I'm running pirelli run flats now but need replacements. They were good tires but should I switch it up? Whats some other alternatives you would suggest?

Do you prefer run flats if not get some Michelin pilot sport 4s, if you want a little better tread life then as3+ or as4...
Continental also does make good summer tires if you like the brand

I went from Conti run-flats to Conti ExtremeContact All Seasons non-rf's (19") last spring and the difference was like night & day; less jolting, more stable grip, smoother and quieter inside. I've put over 40K miles on similar Contis on my Cayenne.

Continental DWS06 Plus non-runflats, going on my car next week. Have had OEM Michelin Primacy 3's and they are like driving on bricks. I also ordered an OEM donut spare and jack kit for the trunk. Jack kit goes in lower compartment, spare kept under the horizontal floor net (Coupe).

Replacing the stock Conti GX run flats with Michelin PS4S in either stock size or 225/50/17
What does the factory donut look like and does it come in a bag of some sort or is there actually a spot for it in the coupe? Obviously the PHEV doesn’t have room for it so I’d have to leave it in the trunk or just get a fix a flat plus compressor

Here is a link to one of many online parts sites for the 205 spare: https://www.mbpartsource.com/oem-par...JjaCBSZXN1bHRz
You would also want a jack kit: 205-580-01-00 Vehicle Tool Kit
I think you can purchase a bag separately. My C238 will not fit the spare under the trunk tray. I have a flat net that anchors at all four corners of the trunk. I'll tuck the spare under that and put the jack kit under the tray.

thinking about the dws06, my only concern is no spare if anything happens and my mercedes roadside assistance expired with my warranty couple months go.

What kind of mileage are you getting out your run flats? Im surprised after a year of having the car (approx 15k miles) I need tires. They weren't new when I bought the car just slightly used.

Pretty sure the Conti All Season RFTs on mine are original. 26500 miles, the rears are down to 4.5mm and the fronts are still at 6mm but the outer edges are weirdly worn.
I'm pleased with the longevity!
