Regarding tires/brakes. I think it will be like the gls.

I talked to Pirelli and they said they love the premium car segment. They get homologated with the OEM, and they get the bulk of the aftermarket sales and premium cars need new tires every 18 months on average !

Brakes: Well it's about the same weight, braking energy usage should be the same to decelerate. It will come down to pad compound chosen for wear.
I'll check it out, but it's also leaking from the transfer case, axle boots, needs new rear bumper, etc.
We shall see on brakes / tires, i'll post comparison over time
