Replace Run flat with regualar tire
I have a 2020 GLE350 4Matic with 20" tires & 3rd row seat... Wasn't aware of the package comes with run-flat and not a fan of how it rides.
Just wondering if I can directly replace the run flats with regular tires?

Runflats & spares
As Jan says, they can be directly replaced. You might want to get the OEM spare to take on trips when you are not using the 3rd row.

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I was thinking a bottle of "fix-a-flat" or tire sealer when going on road trip. Any concerns or experience with this kind of emergency/temporary fix?

Fix a flat works in a pinch but makes a mess inside and generally tire shops don’t like it. I find the DIY plug kits work pretty well. Just make sure you keep a compressor with you too.

Those don't help in the rare occasion when you get a blow out or damage that's larger than a sealer can patch (i.e. a cut in the sidewall that's an inch or two long).
