The other 580 on 19s I drove was on Bridgestones, and the 20s definitely come with Pirellis also.

Interesting. I was surprised to see Hankook. Still trying to make up my mind about the tires. So far so good 😀

Unfortunately, no. They're all-season runflats. That said, while I was expecting them to be both noisy and rough-riding, they've been fine so far.

As I’m someone that works with soil and sticky substances, I use Leatherique maybe twice a year and the leather remains immaculate, soft, and “oily”.

My easy solution - I haven't owned a pair of jeans since I was a pre-teen (before 1945) - my go-to casual trousers are different shades of khakis from light blue to dark brown; Jacques C. Pennay's best.
I've never cared for either light or black interiors. Right now if I were looking to buy a new S class, I'd be looking at a reddish-brown interior and Rubellite Red.
That's why we race horses in Kentucky- difference of opinion.
Funny, isn't it?

I think the technology has improved tremendously with these MOE runflats.

Yeah, I hate run flats and will always change them out within a few months of buying a new car but I haven’t done that yet for this car, and it’s been over a year. While I know the ride quality will improve if I do, it’s not bad or loud enough for me to unlazy myself and do it lol.
