2021 GLE450 4 Matic Tire ?

Are they putting Run flats on the 2021 GLE 450? I have 21" tires so the back is 315 and the front are 275 - I have Pirelli Scorpion Zero. Looks like front is MOS and rear is MO? I had a 2020 that I thought did not have run flats?

It depends on whether or not you have the third row package. I don't have that package, so I have a spare tire and hence have non-runflats. GLEs with the third row package have run flats AFAIK.

After having run flats on my last vehicle, I don't ever want them again.

I don't think run flats come in sizes larger that 20 inches. My understanding is if you have 21s or larger & a third row, you get a sealant kit.

MOS & MO have nothing to do with runflats; refer to Mercedes-Benz Original tires. MOE (Extended mobility) are run flats.
