body sway side to side over slightly uneven road

I am a 2017 GLS550. I noticed this strange excessive body sway left to right while driving on slightly uneven road or going over small bumps. Anyone feels that too?

Yeah, I wish there was a way to get our GLS450 to default to sport mode...

2020 S560
Same issue with 2018 S560 W222

I have a 2018 S560 with about 40k miles and running on non runflats 20inch wheels. I replaced my runflats thinking it would resolve the rear end swaying when I hit a small bump or pothole. Did anyone have a solution to this issue ? In sport suspension mode the swaying is there but very slightly reduced.

It sounds like what you are experiencing is tram lining which is typical of wide sports tires. Deflating tires to normal load helps a little bit (see fuel flap tire pressure sticker).
