My EQS came with run flats so I got them. Couldn’t find any used ones in decent condition so ordered new off Tire Rack.
Same Goodyear’s or something else? My goodyears lasted about 13 months with calm driving.
Same Goodyears as it came with. I paid $850 installed for two rears and the originals lasted less than 15K miles.
And here I am staring at my wifes XMs 23s that look like will last only 7k miles 
which by the way is completely normal per reps and Other XM owners.
My EQS 450+ RWD has 11k miles and rear tires are at the wear bars, haven’t actually measured. Doesn’t matter because these 22” tires are too thin for this behemoth. Potholes on Long Island are terrible and just discovered two (!!) sidewall bubbles on the driver side. Front and rear. Looks like I’ll be replacing at least 3/4 of these tires since both rears are worn anyway. Just looked at pricing and I’m ready to vomit. Never again with a car this size on tires that thin.
I have scheduled replacement for my EQE SUV. Does anybody have first hand knowledge whether Mercedes care about returning with summer tires (in Socal) when originals were all seasons? Originals are not run-flats and i am also buying non-run flats. Replacing the full set at 20K miles.
Are they the same specs? Same or higher rating?
All same brand?
All same brands , non flats, load rating matches, speed rating does not match.
I am trying to figure out how particular MBFS is matching the specs .
Originals:
Replacements:
Whats your speed rating, post the whole specs in case of confusion
Original speed rating: H. ( lower)
Replacement speed rating : Y ( higher)
(full specs are in the screenshots)
Ah,
Y is better than H so you should be fine

So I went to Walmart to get my new set installed on my eqe suv and technician told me they won’t be able to install them because Mercedes EVs need jack point adapters which they don’t have .
Something like this : Rubber Jacking Point Jack Pad Adaptor For Mercedes A B C E Class GLK GLA GL M R | eBay
I was surprised that a place like Walmart doesn’t carry a common tool . I asked him what happens if I get a flat on the side of the road and he said I should carry one in the car because most shops won’t have it in case I get towed to a random shop and I don’t have a jack and spare either .
Then it occurred to me that the eqe 20 inches come with a non-run flats without spare and jack and without this adapter thing . It only comes with a tirefix kit which is useless on sidewall damages . A recipe for a very very big inconvenience should it happen far from home .
My dad got an EQS SUV loaner and reported that the tires were pretty much racing slicks. These things are poisoning EVs for people.
Sage wisdom from Walmart. Most shop lifts have the proper adapters. Mercedes has been using them well before the EQ showed up. I would find another tire shop.

True. Mine lasted 18k miles .
Sounds like a dealer issue putting customers in an unsafe vehicle. And I’m willing to bet that they’re more than anxious to sell new tires to paying customers sooner than it’s really needed.
Funny enough he had it while getting new tires on his 2012 E-class he bought new.
Down to 5.5-6/32 after 11,000 miles with my 2023 Lucid Air GT. I’m a spirited driver so I’m actually surprised they’ve held up this well.
Acceptable tread at lease return with Lucid is 4/32.
I just measured my EQE SUV 20inch Goodyear F1 tires at 3/32 rear and 5/32 fronts. It’s covered 10,000miles in 16 months. I’m a little unhappy about the potential cost of replacements so early in the lease. Any one had success fighting this with Mercedes or through a tire shop?
No - I have an EQE and 3 of the tires crapped the bed at 13K miles. EVs are just hard on tires in general.
