Does it seem to be me alone?

A new Mercedes E400d All-Terrain or GLE would be perfect for me. Two of them at the major dealers have tires I've never heard of; this makes me think they're trying to cut corners, which is something I strongly dislike.
You should expect nothing less than a name-brand tyre from them. quite bothersome.

What brands were these? The dealer margins don't seem very generous.

The vehicle will be certified as having tyres that meet UK standards.

Because most people don't give a hoot about automobiles or driving, they'll probably just think of a tyre as a tyre. Since most people seem to go through their tires pretty quickly, if they had to choose between spending £100 and £300 on a legal tyre, they would probably choose the cheaper one.

One of them had Davanti implants. I failed to notice an E400 that had the right MO tyres on all four wheels; the car was in immaculate condition and sold quickly because of its meticulous maintenance schedule.

Dealer margins are tight, so they won't replace tyres unless absolutely necessary, as mentioned earlier. They will sell the car with the original tires as long as the tread is within the MB approved used acceptable limit (about 3mm), which is based on UK standards. I don't think cheap tires necessarily mean the car hasn't been well-maintained; after all, not everyone has the same level of knowledge about tires as, instance, a car enthusiast. While I would prefer to see name-brand tires on a used car, I wouldn't let that deter me from buying the vehicle otherwise—I would just make sure to include the cost of replacing the tires in my budget.

In my experience, the tyres used to pass a used car's MOT inspection are often the most inexpensive option.
However, a brand new set of Bridgestones bearing the star logo was included with my 3 Series.

I accompanied my brother when he purchased a pre-owned CLS. There was a small puncture that became noticeable during the test drive when the tyre pressure warning light came on. As a condition of the deal, it was agreed that it would be resolved. The salesperson told us that they had just installed new tires that were identical to Pirelli P-Zeros when we went to pick it up. In my opinion, it's up to each dealer to determine their own prep standards.

In no world would I base my purchase decision on the condition of a car's tires. It will not be around forever. During the pre-sale check, dealers frequently install inexpensive tires. Do they really need to spend that much?
