Did anybody get the Pirelli Scorpion Verde's as their MOE run flats? That seems to be what most of the GLC300's come with at my dealer in Virginia. Saw a Bremen and Valmet built '17 with them today and saw a bunch of them earlier this spring. One had 18" 's and the other one had 19" 's.
Just wondering if they last any better than some of the ones mentioned here.

Here in Oz we get a variety of MOE, runflats, yes mine are Pirelli Scorpion Verde on 20 in, AMG rim. To date 31,000km and expect to get aro u nd 42 - 45,000km. Very hapy with stopping, ride not too bad.

Which is app. 30,000 miles. But, ask your dealer if these have a mileage warranty. According to Americas tires, no MB MOE's supplied in the US anyway carry such a warranty. A pity when you can get such a thing on a Kia.

From the Tire Rack web site:
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended Tires (MOExtended or MOE)
(Lea en español)
Tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls identify them as being specifically tuned for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The Extended portion of the name identifies they feature run-flat-like tire characteristics by offering temporary extended mobility. However, since they don't meet all of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) run-flat tire operating limits under all permitted vehicle loads, they cannot be branded as run-flat tires.
Mercedes-Benz vehicles traditionally provide high levels of comfort, which makes it challenging for chassis engineers to add traditional run-flat tires without experiencing some sacrifices in ride comfort. Mercedes-Benz believes much of the undesirable ride firmness is directly associated with traditional self-supporting run-flat tires, so they collaborated with several tire manufacturers to develop lighter-duty temporary extended mobility tires that are designed to increase trunk space and provide a location for the BlueTEC diesel urea tank while enhancing vehicle fuel economy and everyday ride comfort.

Thanks for sharing that info from Tire Rack, midesaka. Very helpful.
Based on techno and dieseldoc's comments, maybe the Pirelli Scorpion's are one of the better MOE tires available. Most folks seem to like them compared to other brands in the Tire Rack reviews.
