2012 gl350
New member checking in.

I just purchased a used 2012 gl350 yesterday. I have a friend bringing it up. This was A leap of faith because all I have seen is about 200 pics. It is on its way from Florida to North Carolina . The suv has about 2500 mi on factory warranty and then the CPO warranty kicks in. The gl coded a nitrogen knock sensor warning so it will be at the Benz dealer tomorrow. Has anyone had any experience getting rid of the run flat tires and replacing them with conventional tires? I am looking at a set of 5 tires ( Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus P275/55R20.) These are a tiny bit taller than the stock and will only change the speedometer by 1.3%. I can be out the door for under $1000.00. My problem is where to put the spare. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All The Best

hello everyone! first time here and just took ownership of a white 05 CL 65 with 97k miles on her and no warranty! the car is in excellent condition as if it was not driven or sat in and amazing in performance with tons of service records. I do like to do mods on my toys but i'll probably leave this one alone as it's already chipped. The way it delivers the power is what made me bought it.
