How much cabin noise is acceptable
I just bought a used 2014 cpo s550 and I feel that this car is not quiet than I was expecting my w220 and my w140 is more quiet specially when driving in windy weather I noticed I can hear the cars when passing to me so have anyone noticed that?

Much of the cabin noise comes from run flat tires and are easy to change. Plus the older benzes (W140, W220) had tiny 15" or 16" wheels with lots of rubber which provided more appearance of a smooth, quieter ride.
In reality both models are louder when measured.

1. what wheel size you had on your w140 and what wheel size you have now on your W220. 2. How many miles you have on your CPO.

The W140 has 18" 245/45/18 and the w220 has 16" but not sure with the tire spec but I think it between 55 to 60 height, the s550 I have has been manufactured in april 14 and it 18k on the clock.
