They are a bunch of F U C K S there. Seriously.

The 100% absolutely positively approved replacement tire is the Dunlop.

This is the EXACT tire. Tell Eileen that it was approved months ago. Mercedes Benz Manhattan - the FACTORY dealership replaced my tires.

Good luck! I hope they do right by you. It sickens me that they are fooling around.

If you have any further grief...feel free to reach out to my service adviser. I'm sure the dealership in Manhattan would be able to reach out to MBUSA and clarify.

That was NOT written on the website. It said specifically RUNFLAT TIRES for the 19s.... Performance Tires for the 20s.

If they "meant" "high performance extended mobility tires" they should have specified that.

As long as they switch them out at no cost to the driver - it's fine.
