The amount of friction should be taken into consideration too. If we are running on 19", the tyre size will be 245 & 275 respectively. For 16, I think it's running 225.

Only 220 units from EAG. The rest of them are the result of big discount. I was wondering ... selling 1200 cars in a month?

its the same for all the car firms, only MB has stock of E300 and C class, but sold out of of ML.
now there is shortage, they didn't think that the market would pick up after the financial crisis.
MB has a special on the C250 with AMG kit for 470k

Lighter wheel, loading reduce which should use less gas than OEM.
Your problem should came from often step deeper while green light turn on and race with FK taxi driver.

also a faster suspension response
