Interesting Observation/Question for You Fellow CLK Owners

I've been meaning to ask this to everyone on here. On the inside of the gas cap is a label that has the below 100/over 100mph tire pressures. I also have a little label below that that says "Use Only Michelin".

I'm curious, does everyone's label say that? How about you guys that had Pirellis or Continentals? It would be pretty funny if all the labels said "Use Only Michelin", but the factory put Continentals or Pirellis on there.

Courious tire labeling.....

The gas filler door on my '03 CLK55 reads (in German language) use only Michelin. You guessed it. My car came with Pirellis. I wonder which tires cost a lot less - about half as much. Wait! I know the answer to that. Oh, well.

It does not list a certain tire brand in this area on my car.
