Well unless they are some kind of after market tire I am not aware of any run flat tires that Mercedes is putting on them. Mine are stock continentals. There are a few other hokey lines but for the most part the rest is correct. The problem with diesel smart cars in the US is finding qualified mechanics to work on them and getting all your parts from Canada or Germany. The other BS in the add is the horsepower. Canadian CDI's are putting out about 44 HP. The new 2011's and later are about 54 and there mileage is closer to 78 MPG (US) vice 70 for the earlier CDI's
