Car looks great Mayur! Just a question. Was it at all possible for you to have asked the dealer for a set of all-season normals, instead of the summer run-flats? As this is going to be my daily, I'd much prefer to not have to swap the tires at all until they're due.

Yeah, this is my daily as well and I do agree that would be a great solution and the car would looks great year round.
I think it’s a reasonable ask. Though they may put it at a cost to you? The only way to know is to maybe ask your dealer?

I don't know what market you're in, but when I ordered my C43 in Canada it comes with the 19" wheels as part of the AMG drivers package (its the only way to get the performance exhaust as it doesn't come as a standalone option in Canada). I asked my dealer if they would switch the 19" more expensive tires on my car with the cheaper 18" all-seasons as soon as they get it in. They said they would only give me a 50% discount off the 18" all-seasons, so effectively Id have to pay $2000 to get cheaper tires than the ones that come with my car in the first place..... I told them to screw off as Ill just use that money towards a separate set of winter tires.

Yeah, I suspected thats something that may happen. Dealers sometimes are very strict on these things and it makes more sense to just get a separate set. Only down side is the rims tend to be smaller for winters and not look AS nice.

Yah, dealers won't really swap out the tires without having you purchase the new set. It is what I'm doing with mine. I ordered new tires for my 19" rims and will be having the dealership install them before I even pick up the car. I'll switch over to the OEM tires in the spring. It costs me about $150 more than going to Discount Tire up the street, but there is a convenience factor and my concern that other vendors won't take the care with the rims that I expect.
