Certified Pre owned with 4 front tires?


I flew to Montreal Quebec to pick up this 2018 E400 Coupe, love it. When I first examined it, I saw it had 245/19's all around, I thought great I can rotate tires, no stagger, but in checking the specs. I think I was supposed to get a stagger 245/19 and 275/19. The car had 23 thousand kilometers. The tires all had 8 and 9/32 inch treadwear. I intend to dump the runflats anyway but so much for their 150 point certified inspection.

Hmmmm, you right from what I can tell it comes with the staggered sizes....


From Tire Rack... usually spot on...

Perhaps a talk with the Service Rep where you bought it... although not sure what remedy you would want to seek ?

Looks like the same wheel all 4 corners.

If they put undersized tires, the rim lip would be flush with the tire or sticking past it.

That's a good point... you could see if other members can check their rim sizes... and compare to yours...

I'm not home right now and can't check the door stickers. But from all the specs. I have seen on this car it comes with 275 rears. My point was Mercedes dealership seem to have nickel and dimes their way through this sale. They told me they had replaced two tires for bumps on them, I'm not complaining, just an observation. I think I got a beautiful car at a good price.

Ah Ok sounds like they nickel and dimed or the person doing the tire replacement didn't realize the stagger....

Do not think so.... but I could be wrong.

on my E400 w/staggered set up (as option) rear wheels are wider I think by 1/2" or inch... I forget.

My bad. it was on the decal in my driver door frame all along... 245/40 - 19in. front and rear. The dealer had it right. So now I have to find four 245/40 - 19 non runflat all season tires
