tire models for the R350 Bluetec

I am having difficulty locating tires with the specs (from the manual) 255/50 R19 107 H XL M+SMOExtended.

The MOExtended is a sort of limp flat specification that allows a limited distance and limited speed, "only in combination with an activated tire pressure loss warning system or tire pressure monitor." This feature is specified for the diesel because the well for the spare tire is co-opted in the diesels for the urea tank which manages NOx emissions.

Is anyone better able to find options for this tire? I'm interested in all-seasons.

Tire rack (www.tirerack.com) has a few "run flat" options that show up in a search.

Including some MOExtended.. wow are those pricey..

If you're in Canada, PMCtire.com has lots of options and the will code the TPMS sensors to your vehicle.

unless this is a lease, and you must return the car with MO tires, you can use any run flat tire. Does not have to be MO. There are several options. Even the Canadian Tire site has some run flats this size! Cool EH?
Another option is to buy regular tires and a puncture sealing kit. If your car already has a compressor as part of the tire kit, all you need is the puncture sealing tank. Ask your Mercedes dealer. It may end up being much cheaper as Run Flats are expensive.

This is a 2 year old thread.
What exactly are you looking for? I have looked around and unless you are willing to have tires shipped in across the boarder and you pick them up yourself at a Kinex or UPS store there are not many options for mainline discount tires in canada. Lots of discounted chinease and 2nd and 3d tier but no michelin, conti etc discounters.

I called today, the MB dealer has the original runflat tires for 265/45/R20 for $372 each, and COSTCO has Piprelli Scorpion Verde 108H XL Runflat (MOE) for $409.
