I need to replace a front tyre and usually favour Michelins which I buy from Costco. However the current version appears to be a pilot sport 4 which has improved fuel ratings where as Mercedes still only recommend the pilot sport 2 being an earlier version. Are the Mercedes approved Pilot...

I have a 2008 CLC with 16" alloys currently on, but i want to change them to 18" i'm having an issue with finding some because the front width of the wheel is smaller than the back? If anyone could give me some advice on wheel size for the CLC or a place where I could get a set please some help...

After spending hour upon hour reading product and user reviews, given the feedback and assistance given here previously, I thought this would be the best place for the best advice. I'm currently in need of new rear tyres (275/35/ZR20) for my CL600. The current tyres are Continental Sport...

Folks - it's decision time. I bought my W221 wearing 20" AMG alloys, but felt the ride could be improved. I since found a set of (Geniune Mercedes) 18" alloys from eBay, which do improve the ride, the trouble is they don't look quite as visually arresting as the 20s. Now... I didn't think...

Hi Guys First timer on this site but I have been having trouble with my car for ages now and nobody can seem to sort and thought you guys may be able to shed some light on the issue. I have a 2008 CLK 280 and I ****** love it. Recently however my car has been wobbling so much when I drive...

Hi, I need 2 new rear tyres and the front haven't got long left either. The steering wheel also judders when going above 70mph, so I need to get my wheels balanced. I was looking to bite the bullet and replace all the tyres at the same; the tyre size currently being used is: 195/65 R15...

Recently purchased CLK 320 CDI with Sport trim and 19" AMG alloys (which I didn't want, but it was the best deal going!) Runs very nicely, albeit uncomfortable over potholes - that's why I didn't want the Sport trim! All seemed well until yesterday, when we travelled back to the westcountry...

Hi I had a problem with my cruise control dropping out at speed, it would work fine and then all of a sudden I would find myself slowing down. It was suggested that the ESP was sensing that one wheel was going faster than the other due to 1 tyre being slightly more worn than the other which...

Hi I have a 1993 W124 E320 Cabriolet and would like to fit a set of AMG monoblock alloys 17" x 7.5 H2 ET 42. Mercedes say they won't fit, can anyone confirm: a) that they will fit without scrubbing? b) what tyre size I should use, they currently have 225 x 45 but I would like a higher profile...

Hi Guys I need to put new tyres on my A180. Currently I have the 195/55/16 on but they are horribly expensive. They are like 50% more expensive than the 205/55/16. Will the 205's fit on my vehicle? Has anybody done this? I know it will affect my speedometer, but since it is showing faster it...

As a long-time user of Michelin tyres, I was disappointed to find that the tyres on my new E-Class Avantgarde only lasted 3 years of low-mileage use before they crazed badly and needed replacing. I contacted Michelin UK who asked me to send them the tyres - at their expense - for checking out...

I have a Mercedes M Class, ML350 (2010), and currently have Pirelli P Zero 265/45R20 Y 104 on the front and back. Has anyone got TOYO PROXES S/T 265/45R20 108V XL on their ML350? I realise the load rating is higher on the Toyo, but the speed rating is lower, does this affect the insurance...

Hi All, Just phoned my local suppliers of Kumho tyres to find that they are in back order for 245 40 R17 91W and no prospect of early supply. They are offering Falcen ZE912 instead, one local guy even saying that they are better than Kumhos at a similar price, £103.20 incl. Has anybody...

Is this is natural on w126 that front tyres are getting worn on the outsides because when the wheels are turning, bends down? Or is this is a problem with wheels geometry and alignment? Thank you
