I have the 21” V Spoke wheels with high performance tires (only ones available) and they ride very nicely, no harshness or road noise. I also have the 4.5 degree rear wheel steering and it works flawlessly.

Ditto on the ride quality of 21” wheels and tires. Although, I wonder if the 21” wheels are more susceptible to “rim rash” than the 19 or 20 inch wheels because of the super low profile of the 21” tires. Got my first case a few days ago against a curb.
And the rear axle steering…a must for these long wheel base cars. I have the 4.5 degree that makes the car very manageable, but I’d have loved the 10 degree if it was available for my car.

No, the high performance tires that come with the 21” V Spoke wheels have MO-S on the sidewall. This means that they are Mercedes Original Equipment, Specifically designed for this model car. The tires do not have the designation MOE, the E standing for extended life (run flat design).
