Speed limited 210kmh?
What tyre brand does the E use in Australia? Why is the car speed limited to 210km when in Europe it's 250Kmh? Do they use different tyres?
Are they speed limited in Northern America?
I want to take my car for a spin to the Northern Teritory when it arrives cause there's no speed limits there. Going 210kmh is not that fast, was wondering why it is different from Europe.

the speed is limited to 130 MPH on the 320 and 500. In Europe, apparently, only the 320 is limited based on the rating of the factory tires.
The tires on the 320 and 500 in the US are H- rated and apparently this the why the speed is limited. The Sport Package, which should receive W rated tires, is being delivered also with H rated. Mercedes will switch them out but only to those who ask.
