Description:

PRICE REDUCED ($210 for three high tread Hankook Ventus S1Noble2 all season run flat tires (just sold one), vs. $275+ each for new tires)

I just replaced the OEM Hankook run-flats (size 245/45R18) on my 2019 E450 Coupe with Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus non-run flat tires. I've actually been pretty pleased with these Hankooks but prefer the smoother ride and better handling of conventional tires and have had great luck with 12-15 sets of the various Continental Extremes on multiple cars over the past 15 years.

I bought my E450 as a CPO in March and the dealership replaced two tires, which had 5,827 miles (of which 1,100 were from a road trip last month) when I replaced them last week. Per the first two photos, the remaining front tire has 9/32 inches of tread left and has a production date of 09/21. I'm selling it for $90, plus actual shipping or local (Northern Virginia - Washington, DC area) pickup.

The two rear tires have 7.5/32 and 8/32 inches of tread and production dates of 0121 and 0421. I ran over a screw in my garage and punctured the "0121" tire, drove the car 100 yards until the sensor went off at 20 psi, returned home, pumped it up to 32 psi and immediately took the tire to NTB to be repaired. Hankook allows one repair to their run flat tires, so the tire is perfectly serviceable, and the last two photos show the inside and outside of the repair. That said, I'll sell this one for $60, and the one that hasn't been repaired for $70 (again, plus actual shipping or local pickup). Or you can have all four tires for $275 plus shipping (~$30/tire).

As an aside, I initially had OEM Continental Pro Contact run-flats on my previous C Class and these Hankooks were quite a bit smoother. My wife's E300 Sedan has Goodyear Eagle Sport run-flats and these Hankooks were also considerably quieter than her tires. Because I purchased my car, I'll never need these run flats, but if you have an upcoming lease return, M-B expects cars sold with run flat tires to be returned with run flats with reasonable tread. These tires will be perfect to facilitate your cost-effective return.

I also have these tires listed individually on eBay but am offering the above "quantity discount" for the MBWorld community. Please PM me if you're interested.

Thanks,
