I'm the oddball because I liked the original tires. How common is the Rear Entertainment package? I bought a 2 year old "diplomatic" car with 3,000 miles on it (2020 S560 4Matic), actually registered as such with DC DMV. Nice car but I was surprised it wasn't spec'ed out with Rear Seat and/or Executive Package. 
Am I right that all cars with Rear Entertainment have the HDMI connection in the center console? To allow connect to something like an Amazon Firestick? Just saw that in this forum. Crazy that it works!

All W222s with Rear Entertainment Pkg have some sort of auxiliary connections in the rear, for hooking up a gaming system, portable Blu-ray player, etc. HDMI may have started in 2018? (someone else can confirm). I know my 2017 has only composite audio/video and USB-A connections with the Rear Entertainment Pkg.
Happy Motoring!

You edited your post but no my diplomat car does not have the Exec package. It really sucks that it doesn’t have the 4 zone A/C. I guess Obama gets cold easily. My rear seats are fully adjustable but don’t have massage and no foot rest.
What ever happened to the Split screen technology that was supposed to let you watch movies in the front?

Keen eye... Yes, I edited my post because I realized that I hadn't fully read what you wrote, thereby answering my own question. 
Yes, I don't know what became of SPLITVIEW (Opt Code 867). I believe it debuted in the W221, post facelift, circa 2010. It was available in the W222 through 2018, and then it disappeared unceremoniously for the 2019 model year. It's really cool, once you've seen it in person.
I imagine perhaps a wife complained to MB corporate that her husband kept saying "Go back to your movie, Dear," instead of coming to terms with the fact that her marriage was already doomed. SPLITVIEW didn't break up your marriage, honey. Thanks for ruining it for the rest of us...
