Hey everyone, looking for some advice.

I have a 2025 CPO Mercedes GLC 300 (RWD) with around 10k miles on it. Got a screw/nail near the shoulder area of one of the rear tires, and it’s likely not repairable because of the location.

For a newer luxury car like this, would you recommend:
- getting the tire replaced directly at the Mercedes dealership
or
- going to somewhere like America’s Tire/Discount Tire?

Mainly wondering if there’s any real advantage to letting Mercedes handle it (OEM tire matching, balancing, alignment, sensors, etc.) or if I’m just paying dealer markup for no reason.

Would appreciate experiences from other Mercedes owners.

As you can see in the image, it’s been more than 2 years for this. Is there a way I can clean this sticky mess and get my Birkin back or should I buy a new one?
I tried keeping it out in sun but it didn’t work, it might got wet in rain as well quite a few times
