Hello,
another tyres question, Mercedes recommends only one 17 inches tyre size for my w153 ML 270CDI: 255/60R17
we all now the narrow and the higher is the winter tyre is the best, based on this I have the following questions:
1. Is it ok to use 235/65R17 size - bear in mind that ALL radius and diameter lenghts for 255/60R17 and 235/65R17 are 100% the same the only difference is tyre width (see http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html ), Mercedes mention something about ESP not working fine with different sizes?
2. How far from recomended 255/60R17 I can go (anybody here used different winter tyre sizes?), for example I really would like to have 225/75R17 as proper high and narrow winter tyre, is anybody used it on ML, is it fine to do that? The radius for 255 is 14.5 inches the 225 will be 15.1 - means half inch higher.
thank you for your help
