I don't love the "stars" in the lights a'la the E Class, IMO its over the top. Although aimed at China for sure where these big sedans are still really popular.
What I really want to see is the dash.

I went to two different tire stores and they tried to push them on me.
Can't remember the exact brands they said BUT both tried to convince me they were Chinese but made by the same company who makes "fill in brand name here".
I want to say one place said Bridgestone and one place said Perelli.
Another words, good deal on these tires and there made by the same company who makes Bridgestone.
Total lies, I went home and could find nothing to confirm the claims.

Lol Steve is a tire snob, not that I blame him. Nothing will ever go on my cars except Michelins.
The SL came with Chinese tires that Steve pointed out just from a random pic of something else, I wasn't even aware lol.
But hey, they were new tires. Don't get me wrong, Michelins go on next but I'm not paying for them until it's time.

Oh I have thrown away many crappy tires that had plenty of tread in my life lol. Its the single biggest impact you can make on the way a car rides and drives, the tires.
Its the past...

Yup, doesn’t bother me.
What I do wish I had done was keep the runflats so I could reinstall them. If I turn it in vs trade it in I will get hit for the non runflats. Next time I will swap them but keep them so I can put them back on.

I can tell you all part of the reason many drivers are running Chinese tires.
I went to two different tire stores and they tried to push them on me.
