Runflat Tires?!?!
hi, i just picked up my C32 on Tuesday night.
the car did not have a spare in the trunk, and the salesman said that the car came with Run-Flat tires and that C32's do not come with a spare tire as original equipment (it has the standard Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's, 225 and 245 that come standard on the C32). did your C32's come with runflat tires stock, that is not an option and it was original equipment when you bought the car? did your C32 come with a spare-tire in the trunk when you bought it? i would appreciate your help. tia.

I don't think the Pirelli tires are run flat models. I think Goodyear EMT, Dunlop SP Sport and Michelin ZP are the only tires designed to "limp" home without air.
It is very likely that your car has an air pump and chemical sealant system in place of a full spare like the new E class.
If this is the case, go back and tell the sleezman's boss that his misinformation can get someone killed.

What year is your C32? If it is a 2001/2002, I don't think that they came with a spare. 2003's came with a spare. everybody else agree with me on this one?
