Last fall I replaced the OEM Continental PROCONTACT GX SSR tires on my 2016 W222 4MATIC with the Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS tires. I had a dramatic change with the S550 ride. The new tires provide superior ride, winter traction, handling, and they are more fuel efficient. I added a tire fix kit and jack to my trunk since they are not run-flat. Very happy with vehicle.

[@WayneARobertson]

I'm glad you switched tires. Run Flats will crack your rims like an egg!!

[@Nojoke85]

Staggered tires are is a nightmare on my C300, rear tires always get cupped after 15k miles. Thank you for the very informative video.

You bet!

I’m going to check my rims immediately! Great video!!!

That is a 110volt plug..... where do you plug it in to ??

[@WayneARobertson]

You do have a 110v socket in the back on the center console towards the bottom of the floor.

[@bloodshoti4111]

Nice video cheers for that from a fellow w222 owner here in Europe. One question if I may I see you have mud flaps front and rear mind if I ask where you got them from? I checked with Mercedes they said they dont do them for the AMG body style. Oh watch out for moisture in your headlights I see it has starting already. I've tried everything to resolve this issue in the end I replace the desiccant gel packs myself every six months other wise it ends up in an expensive repair bill.

[@WayneARobertson]

I ordered the mudflaps from Ebay. It came from China. I waited a month to recieved them. The seller had to call the holding facility here in the US to get it released and delivered to me. It was flat black and I painted it gloss black. It makes the car look nice. Enter the search criteria OEM Splash Guards Mud Guards Mud Flaps For 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S Class W222

[@kashefjameel]

Hi there...your videos are very informative..thank you for that :) My question is -- Cant we have all 4 tires with the same size like in the regular cars? And heard the s550 tires need to be changed in less than 2 years?

[@WayneARobertson]

My car came with different tires sizes for the front and back. It is a 4Matic. The back tires are bigger like a racecar. The car is also very heavy. Changing tires every 2 years depends primarily on the tire brand you buy. I go to www.tirerack.com to look at my tires as well as the reviews. Another reason for bigger tires in the back I would presume, much of the weight is in the back, this would counter or prevent lunatic oversteering.

[@kashefjameel]

@@WayneARobertson got it and how frequent you have changed your tires? Also any suggestions on the tire brand/model u prefer? I am in process of becoming an owner of S550 so too many questions in mind :)

[@WayneARobertson]

@@kashefjameel These are my tire recommendations. Front: 245/40ZR20 Rear: 275/35ZR20 Changing tires would depend how much you drive the car. Everyone will be different in different regions.

[@mohanedalthagafi306]

Thank you for the video, I had the same problem and now changed it. I have a question in regards to the pressure monitor system in the car (MB s class), will it get affected when I switch to normal tires also when I got a flat with my run-flat it gave me a warning saying run-flat, will the car get confused when switching to normal tires. Also, what type of tire company do you recommend, I changed to Dunlop.

[@WayneARobertson]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. No the car will not be confused whstsoever.

[@mohanedalthagafi306]

@@WayneARobertson That's great! Also, I have the same crack in my rims, should I laser it or weld it?

[@WayneARobertson]

@@mohanedalthagafi306 I had all 3 of my rims welded by a rim specialist. The last rim to be welded was my front left rim. He told me 1 more crack and I will need to throw that rim away. That scared the daylights out of me and I converted to regular tires that same day and bought a spare rim for the front. Now all my tires are regular tires.

[@aerodyneservices]

Good vid. The one thing all owners should do is understand their tires and be prepared as you have shown. I have 20" AMG wheels with run flats. Hit a crack on the freeway at low speed and bulged the sidewall. I had the dealer change the tire, cleaned the tire and rim but did not think to check the rim for cracks Was the cracked rim Mercedes or aftermarket?

[@WayneARobertson]

The cracked rim was Mercedes. After repairing 3 cracks rims, I had enough. I can only imagine how many other people are going through this.

[@aerodyneservices]

@@WayneARobertson it seems low profiled tires and heavy cars are a poor mix. Tesla's with 21's often have problems, and like MB, do not have a spare wheel/tire.

[@Binford81]

@@WayneARobertson I have the same rims, I cracked all 4 rims ( at different times) I have tire and rim insurance. Now I’m wondering if I should change over to regular tires ?

[@WayneARobertson]

@@Binford81 You should, and put a spare in your trunk. The peace of mind is well worth the price

[@hmilner09]

I'm not sure if this was asked but what size tire did u go with for your spare since front and rear is staggered and have u had any issues with the spare not matching the other side ex if ur passenger rear had the 245 (spare) and ur driver rear had 275 would that be safe to drive?

[@WayneARobertson]

I got the smaller size tire that I used for the front 245/40/R20. The reason is they are universal meaning, you can use them as a spare tire in the front as well as the back.

[@hmilner09]

@@WayneARobertson ok thanks

[@razor4059]

The W221 comes with a spare tire and tools. I heard the spare tire can be used on W222. does anyone have a photo of the tire P/N and the trunk spare tire bed so I can purchase and add it to my W222?

[@WayneARobertson]

I've not aware of that, but if the spare tire fits on the W222, by all means.

[@jrm163]

We should treat The Run on flat tires as regular ones: stop driving when pressure is low! The main issue here is the low profile of tires or the big diameter of rims! They are just a garbage design for non-race cars! Rims get cracked easily on regular roads! If I were to replace a rim, I would try to get a regular size rim with a normal size tire! S550 is not a race car, is it?!

[@WayneARobertson]

I just convert from run flat to regular tires and save money by not having to repair crack rims. Plus the ride is so much better.

[@jrm163]

@@WayneARobertson what size of rims are you using now?

[@gerrywhelan7426]

Run Flats are the worst invention, since the invention of the wheel.

[@healthymentality7247]

In the comments you say that you have changed your tires and rims. Mind if I ask you what size tires and rims you have now for front and back?? I bought my car with after market rims, but don't like the ride. Looking for stock.......

[@WayneARobertson]

The rims were never changed, just repaired by a rim specialist. I have regular tires now instead of run flats on all 4. My spare tire is run flat and it's the only tire and rim that are new. The rides is so much better with regular tires. The rim size for the front is 245/40R20 and the back tires are 275/35R20. This is called staggard. These rims came with the car from the Mercedes Benz Dealership.
