Question Free Tires under Warranty?

Are FREE TIRES part of 2003 MB warranty only for S- class? What about 2002 CLK's and other passenger cars?

In an article today in the Miami Herald on the S430, the following appears:

"Let's not call this Mercedes stress-free. But Mercedes has indeed
gone the extra mile to help make things easier. Helping even more
is its four-year, 50,000-mile warranty that includes free tires,
batteries and regular maintenance."

hrmm..interesting. I know the tires on my C32 are not covered under warranty for normal wear and tear. I'm not too sure about the S-class though. I would go ask a MB dealer directly.

Tires

I could be mistaken, but I believe tires are covered only by their respective manufacturers. New car buyers should receive a warranty brochure from the manufacturer when given their owners manual, etc. It seems logical that tires would be considered a wear item, hence not covered.

I called MB Corporate just now to verify the "FREE TIRES under warranty" in the MH article.

They said that it is misinformation, there is NO change in the warranty. No free tires. Sorry.
