That is great info! I'll go buy a sealant kit. Next is to see where the jack and toolkit are located.

I don't see any tire toolkit in the trunk... I guess it doesn't come with the car?

My 2023 EQE-350SUV was delivered with 20" Cooper tires. a Goodyear 2nd brand "designed for Mercedes". On a freshly plowed thinly snow packed road on a mild curve at 10-15mph (speed limit 30 mph) the vehicle aquaplanes and no warning lights for skid go on. I have owned at least 20 ICE 4-matics, including the first to be sold and none of them behaved like this with original equipment wheels and tires on the same road near my home. My 2023 Tesla model 3 with Continental all season tire takes the same road at 30mph without skidding as did my Mercedes dealer's driver's car when I was chauffeured home from the shop when it was left for a malfunctioning door handle. I was advised I possibly need snow tires as it was an electric vehicle. What???? My previous ICE 4-matics even with summer rated tires did not do this.

My 2023 EQE500 SUV was also delivered with 20" Cooper non-runflat tires. They were not good on snow and didn't last very long. Ended up having my winter wheels with Blizzaks installed last winter. Got a set of Pirelli WeatherActive tires this last summer from Sam's Club to replace the Coopers and they have been the best I've ever owned! They have been great so far this winter here in the northeastern US with all the snow we've received.

How many miles did you get out of the Coopers? I have 5300 miles on mine (Minneapolis) and though I haven't measured the tread, they look like I could get about 20,000+ miles on them if it doesn't snow. With climate change I believe we had 3 plowable snows last year and two this winter thus far. Out of the 5 events, I was either out of town or it was warm enough for the snow to melt on the plowed street. This last event was followed by very cold temperatures so the snow pack remained and I found out that the Coopers were "unsafe at any speed" for the first time. I am reluctant to spend $1200 to replace almost new tires. I was even more dismayed to find my local MB store was offering a new 2024 EQE-SUV350 "left over" with a $22,000 discount. I did not check it's tire brand.

Sadly, I only got somewhere between 10K to 12K out of the Coopers. Have almost as much on the Pirellis so far. Very impressed with the traction in all conditions, especially on all the snow we've had this winter in Western PA. Even though these have a good amount of tread left, I don't expect to get anywhere near the 60K treadwear warranty as these heavy EVs eat tires. But at least I can get the next set prorated based on what I end up getting assuming I keep this vehicle after my lease is up at the end of June.

 

[sho1sho1sho1]

How does the 60k treadwear warranty work? Do you have to get the tires from a specific tire shop for them to handle the warranty? Or you can bring the car (with the tires) to any tire shop and they can handle the treadwear warranty?

How does the prorate work? Is it based on how much you paid for the tires initially?

Here's a link to a article that explains how it works.

Original set of tires Pirelli Scorpion Zero All Season Elect 255/45 R20 105H lasted 22k miles (3/32, 5/32, 5/32, 6/32). Not sure why one was 3/32 and one was 6/32. Could probably wait till October 25k before replacing…

Just got replacement tires installed.

I bought these from Amazon with the Amazon Tire installation service at Just Tires. I am not sure if these are good or not… but for the price, I want to try them out.

Cooper Discoverer CrossRange All Terrain 255/45R20 105H XL Light Truck TireCooper
$180.98 US$ each
$788.20 total delivered to Just Tires
$63.80 total for 4 tires installation at Just tires
I think this is a super good price!


They come with 11/32 tread and looks nice and deep. Tire date codes are 02/23, 05/23, 05/23, 05/23, not too bad. So far, drove about 50 miles on them. Road noise and ride feel about the same as previous Pirelli tires. I’ll report back later after a few thousand miles.

Those were what came with my car after I told the dealer to replace the summer tires on it (December 6 purchase in Colorado, so I wasn't about to drive off the lot in summer tires).
I wasn't impressed on snow and ice over the winter. Seem fine on dry or warm/wet roads. Not uncomfortable but will probably look to replace before the next snow.
