Welcome to the forum.
Gorgeous car, both inside and out. Thanks for the pix.
Curious what make and model tires they shipped with the car. Doesn't look like the Pirelli P Zero Nero's that are so often provided, as are mine. Michelins perhaps?
Enjoy the heck out of it!

Very nice car. Even nicer house! lol. I put the same tires and the same size as you are going to use when I went to 19's on my '12 E550. The difference in the way that the car drives from stock is significant. There is a bit more moise, but other than that, all positive.

Awful grip though on the primacys, especially on the 550.

Thanks for your comment.
That's interesting. You're the first person I've had contact with to say that. Especially since the Primacy grand touring version is rated Superior or Excellent in all categories related to grip.
It's not a UHP tire of course. So, Perhaps your evaluation does relate more specifically to the 550, which has huge torque and, to my mind, would require a high performance sport-type tire for best results.
What you've said I have heard about the Michelin Sport version though, along with lower tread life.
I have no personal experience yet with either type, so only repeating what others have reported, plus TireRack.com and Consumer Reports test ratings.
