Our 2004 E320 took early retirement.

We will be replacing her with a low mileage 2013 E350 Sport Wagon in Polar White with Black MB Tex, CPO, P1, rear side airbags, panorama sunroof, driver seat with massage, black ash wood trim, keyless go & lane tracking package.

She's just got to the dealer and is going in for CPO certification and we should be picking her up later next week.

Any insights or suggestions on the 2103 Sport Wagon that you can start us off with would be greatly appreciated.

Initial question is about the run flat tires - I think these must be original to the car. Have never had RFT's. How long do they last & what do you recommend replacing with when necessary? How are they in slick or icy weather?

I look forward to getting as much help and advice here as I have for many years on the W211 board.

Thanks.

Glad you got things sorted out with your wagons. RFT are terrible IMO and I would scrap them and try to get a spare (I'm not sure where to put it in the wagon). Streamliner is the resident expert on RFT/spare tire issues and resolutions.

I would gladly give up the 3rd row seats which will never never be used to keep a spare!

If you have 18 inch wheels with RFT's it will ride like a truck, they are bad enough with 17 inch wheels.

I believe they are 17".

My 2015 E63 Wagon (not available with third row seats) has the spare in the trunk floor.
