Dear all
I must confess I’m a total MB newbie
First ever, went for a C220 bluetec, 2.1, SE, 2016, I believe this is a W205
Living up in Scotland we survived last winter, just, and we did get stranded for a week till car was able to cope with the worst of winter
Given that I regularly travel that far north I’m considering winter tyres (had them before in a FWD and it was blissful in winter). Few questions, If you could please entertain me with your experience:
-any experience with Jinyu or sunny winter tyres?
-cheapest alloys for a w205 That fit 225/50/17? (Trying to avoid changing rubber twice a year and save my original alloys from winter) found some “alutec grip” in mytyres.co.uk for about £100 each (plus £10 each for the TPS)
I drive Michelin’s but they are sincerely hopeless in the snow and the threads are at least 5mm, so wondering whether biting the bullet of buying a full winter alloy/budget tyre is cheaper over three years
Thanks in advance!
