Isn't it nice getting new tires, car always rides so smooth.

Way back 30 years ago we installed mostly Pirelli on high end sports cars, they have track record of good tires.

Rears, nice that the sidewalls are exactly the same, I've had issues with that with Michelins...

I have to say Steve....I really like those rims, the sidewall of the new tires matches them well.

Yeah I like the rims too. I prefer the multispoke 20s but ride wise these are much better

These are fine, not too bad. Multispoke esp 21s look nicer and more luxurious esp on SUVs IMO. Same feel with those on Luxury GS.

Those are pretty sick, but I'm not 100% sure they "feel right" for the S-Class.

Those are my favorite. A bit more sporty than the usual but I feel they fit the car nicely.

I didn't know 20 inch rims can look so tiny on a car!

My neighborhood isn't quite to your level lol but there are some really nice cars, like those but not V12s. I'm the only 200 series I've seen, but there's another LS430 like mine. Lots of Range Rovers. It is worth noting that this one nice house they had matching new BMW M4s... they lost their house to foreclosure. I wasn't too shocked at that one. I'm sure RE agents see that all the time.
Indian Hill was the only place where I'd see a Ferrari from time to time.

Here in Seattle there are plenty of people with some incredible rides, but a lot of the car enthusiasts utilize car storage facilities. Houses here just don't have a ton of driveway space usually or more than 2 garage stalls. Bellevue across the lake is much flashier and suburban so Lamborghinis and Ferraris and such are everywhere.

And non AMG... Wow how in the world can they make and put these wheels on a 60k+ vehicle? And people buy too.

These look best IMO. Very classy

Those also look very nice on SUVs.

I don't think I like any of these.





This is classy to me. For a Mercedes
