H-Rated Tires on My E-Sport
I just got my E320 Sport...and noticed Continental 245/45 R17 95H tires (H rated).
The Sport is supposed to come with more-expensive (although less durable) W-rated tires.
I don't mind so much, since the H rated will likely last longer (and I don't generally drive 130MPH).
Is there a substantial difference in price between the two tires? If so, I feel that MB should compensate me for substituting lower end tires...when, in fact, the printed materials show W Ratings.

This one is WR Rated.
I really doubt that MB will compensate you for it ,since if you read the disclaimer it states that they reserve the rights to make changes.
