I would too, S-Class is meant to be enjoyed and driven (or be chauffeured around) but to each their own though.

The distance isn't what bothers me, its the lack of proximate facilities to get it fixed. Especially with unique tire sizes, it's not like our neighborhood llantas shop is likely to have our size just laying around. I usually drive my pick-up truck on road trip.
I wonder if downsizing tires (and getting rid of run-flats) and also get tires that are higher profile you can really enjoy the S-Class without worrying too much, it wouldn't look as nice but at least you can enjoy the car you paid quite a bit for? Throw a tire plug kit and MB's TireFit kit in the trunk and start road tripping and really enjoy the ride.
