Mercedes-Benz has a GE Wheel & Tire Protection Program, which warrants any damages to the wheels and tires. I would assume the buyer who purchased the car also has enough money (and brains) to invest in that program. For regular, non-AMG vehicles, I believe it is alittle over $1K... maybe be a tad bit more for that CL65 40th

That seems like a lot for the wheel/tire insurance. How long does it cover everything?

)....tech keeps advancing....
Suspect any Catena cust who lives in ShortHills/Harding Twp and just drives around upscale suburban NJ (w/minimal exposure to Manhattan's gruesome roads) will do OK in terms of tire/wheel survival (lots of guys in places like Greenwich live/work there, so have no need to drive into the car hell known as NYC....just rent an S550 and driver if need to go into Manhattan anyway)......but suspect any perf tire is suboptimal once temps are <45F, no matter how smooth are roads....
And perf tires need replacement after about 10K mis anyway......so tire/wheel insurance programs are sucker games....sort of like extended warranties....or this 40thAnniv car.......

It covers 5 years/60,000 miles for $955+ tax... Not bad, right?

Outrageous price? Damn, due to high custom fees, my W216 CL500 (fully loaded) will be $245 000. And it's quiet base price for such a loaded CL500 here in Moscow. CL63 with "my" options like carbon interior/exterior is $299 000. So I'm just praying for this price of CL65 40th

Ghetto2315...any idea on who bought it (anyone famous) or what part of NJ they live in? I'm sure you can't say, but it's worth asking
