Price went up $1500.
The way it is currently presented on the website shows the $925 transportation fee included so it appears it went up $2425. This appears to be a change in how they present it on the website but the actual price went up $1500.

Noticed the 20" multispoke wheels come standard with high performance summer tires. The 5 spoke 19" wheels are fitted with all season run flat tires. Guess MBUSA listened to the complaints about harsh riding 20" run flats!

Sorry, but no. The 20 inch high performance summer tires are run flats.

The build your own section specifically states all season run flat tires for the 5 spoke wheel but does not mention run flats for the 20" wheel, only that they are high performance tires. It would be very misleading to not mention run flats if they are still putting them on the 20" wheels. I would think they would state high performance run flat tires if they were using them. Look at the sport package in the build your own section...they have pictures and comments on both tires. I will be very disappointed if I get high performance run flats on my 2015.

I tried to get them to change my tires to the approved non run flats and they said they would not do this.
If you want to change them to non run flats once your car comes in you have to work this out with your dealership who will work with MB corporate on this issue. I am told they look at this on a case by case basis but it is your dealership that has to work it out.

Are you sure about this? My 2014 build for the 4Matic says 16/26. The 2015 build that you see at the site is for RWD and the only difference is that the city mpg is 17. That's exactly the same as the 2014 build.

"designo" Diamond White is the same as the previous Diamond White paint-- just a new name (marketing).

For what its worth--my actual '14 S550 4matic MSRP sticker states city at 16 and highway at 26 mpg. The combined city/highway number is 19mpg. It also states 5.3 gallons per 100 miles.

That's exactly right Trautman. My price sticker also has the same numbers as yours. I bet the EPA changed the highway figure from 25 early in the build cycle for the 2014 S to 26 later. For what its worth, I have been averaging around 29 on the highway.

That's why there was hooplah on Mercedes for false advertisement. I posted screen caps several months ago in a different thread on the forum about how the 20s were said to come with performance tires and the 19s were said to come with runflats. When I got my car - it had 20s, and runflats, not performance.
Switched them to performance at dealer and the ride is MUCH softer, and much more enjoyable.

Everything you say is true but the fact is, what I am telling you is true. I talk to MB often because of my custom ordered car and I have been through this exact topic with them more than once.
I tried to get them to change my tires to the approved non run flats and they said they would not do this.

The factory will NOT switch them out - even to approved Non Runflats.
It must be done at the dealer. There should be NO charge for this and should be covered under the same tire and wheel warranty you originally purchased (if you purchased it).

You are absolutely correct.

Works for me, hope they don't scratch my wheels in the process...

I live in Michigan but spend my winters in warmer climates. I wanted something with decent treadlife and the ability to handle the limited snow & ice that I'll see in Michigan before January. My first choice was the Pilot Sport A/S 3's, but Michelin doesn't make this tire in the correct size for the fronts (staggered 20" wheel set up). I've opted to try tirerack's highest rated all season tire that fits my car, the Hankook Ventus S1 noble2's. My dealership has agreed to purchase these tires and mount them prior to delivery; no cost to me. We'll see how it goes...

Chucky, I just got a reply from Eileen F. At MBUSA saying there is no approved replacement for the run flat tires with the 20" multi spoke wheel. Can you post which Dunlap tires you are using and who I should contact at MBUSA. Eileen F. acts as if she never heard of the problem and said if I want to replace the run flats, I will need to purchase new wheels, tires, a spare tire and jack. Great suggestion from Eileen F.
