Hi Guys
Recently i have been noticing that my 2015 S550 ride feels more smoother in sport mode than comfort, has anyone else have similar experience
I have 20 inch rims with Michelin sport tires

The question depends un unspecified information:
a) air pressure in tires has a big influence
b) the actual tires have a big influence
c) a and b interact.
If you are using high air pressures (39-45 PSI) the heavier <rebound> damping in sport mode will take some of the harshness out of the way.
If you are using std or lower air pressures the sport mode could be taking some of the sloppiness away making the car feel better in your hands.
Grand Touring tires versus Max Performance tires will change where the sweet spot of springs versus shocks will be.
All without changing anything else on the car.
