I think there is a language barrier issue here. Stretch means that the sidewalls angle towards the centerline of the wheel as you move from the rim to the contact surface of the tire. Your picture clearly shows that the tires are stretched. Nothing wrong with that.
Your 9.5" wide rears probably ran 275s stock on the S-class, so a 245 tire on them cuts the tire width by over an inch, hence the stretched look.

Thanks Dziner82, I put the Billy sports on the front and I have to say that I actually prefer them over the Koni's. The car still rides pretty flat in corners, but the ride is a bit more forgiving and not as harsh as the Koni's were on the softest setting. At some point I'll be getting Billy sports for the rear as well.
For now I'm going to stay on the euro springs, I still like the ride height, it's perfect for me and I get to keep the factory alignment specs as well.
