I have a 2023 EQS 450. I had to replace all 4 tires at 7,000 miles. That’s a $2,000 on a brand new super low mileage car. MB never acknowledged my complaint. Has this happened to others? Mercedes is selling these very heavy cars with the bottom of the line goodyear tires. Tire Threads gone after 10 months of use!

 

Interesting, but not surprising. Tell us a bit more. What tire brand/model/type/size are the OEs? Does MB recommend running tire pressure close to max because of the battery weight? What tires are you considering now (maybe a light truck LT rated)?

 

Our EQS SUV had 20,000 miles after 18 months on the factory Pirelli Scorpion tires when we traded it in. It still had plenty of tread left (and this is without ever having them rotated).

7,000 miles isn't normal. That points to either terrible alignment issues or a very fast and aggressive driving style, or both.

 

The Goodyear tires provide great ride comfort and cost a lot less than the Pirelli Scorpion for example. Only 7000 miles for a set does sound like someone floored it a lot

 

My EQS sedan is at 6/32nd tread all around at 8500 miles with the factory Pirellis. I'm projected to wear them out to the bars at 26K. Brake and tire wear are heavily influenced by driving style, so I too wonder if driving habits caused the Goodyears to go at 7K.

 

I definitely do not drive aggressively. Also not an alignment problem. I wish I had kept the detail on which tires the car came with from the factory. the tire shop did tell me the Goodyear tires that came from the factory were light duty (lighter cars) and was sold more substantial (heavy duty) tires.

I was really upset that MB didn’t follow up on my complaint. Its a $100k car and if I were them, I would pay attention to buyers. Ive been driving German cars for decades and never had this happen. It was completely unacceptable.

 

It's just tough... if it's not your driving style and it's not an alignment issue, something isn't adding up here. Especially considering there are now 2 examples in this thread of EQS' lasting well over 20,000 miles on a set of tires. 1 being a sedan and 1 being an SUV which is 400-500 pounds heavier.

In addition, tires are a normal wear and tear item. You'd have to PROVE that something abnormal caused them to wear out prematurely if you want the dealers to replace them for free at 7,000 miles. I think you're fighting an uphill battle on this one...

 

This is hard for me to believe. My 2022 EQS 450+ still has three of the original Goodyear F1 Asymmetric tires on (one got a nail and was replaced) with plenty of tread depth left after 32 thousand miles. Your tire wear simply does not make sense, without very aggresive driving habits. None of us have reported such tire wear in the last three years. Are you for real, or just trolling the site? Give us specific information about tire brand, model, size and rating please.
