An old B-Class.
Aircon topped up today on the drive , it was about 25% down on gas over the last 4 years . Might have to test drive it later as it’s so sticky out there .
Or maybe just sit on the drive for the day and run the aircon :rolleyes:

or spend the night in the car with the engine running.

I’ve got them on the CLK rear and the E class fronts and I can’t tell the difference to the Uniroyals/Goodyear’s they replaced . I will be fitting them to the other axles as they wear out as well .
Just as a couple of years ago I bourght the A rated “ wet “Uniroyal Rainsports which were a cheap tyre on a lower brand (which are now too expensive ) I can see Nexens increasing in popularity and price as well ?
The trouble is I have looked at Nexens, Uniroyals and Falkens for my SL but the Goodyears are cheaper!

That’s funny , for me the Nexens were £62 , Goodyear’s £100+

Perhaps the Goodyears are part worn !! :rolleyes: I remember when I was young, we were lucky if we got 5,000 miles out of a set of Goodyear G800's on our Mini's :D

I wish, on Camskill.......

Goodyear AS5 £174.20
Falken FK510 £197.35

No Nexens or Uniroyals come up in the size I need.

Service ??? we used to change the oil when we remembered but that was probably all. Mini's were made to rag :D

2016, LWB W222 AMG Line S-Class S350d - W415 Citan Van too :)
I fitted new tyres all round two weeks before the crash that wrote my 221 S Class off... It also had a full tank of diesel... It's sat on the drive now with its' 19" Contisport contact 2's tempting me to take them off as spares for the 222... :)

Ragging is what one does to the Mrs, a car gets a good thrashing...
