I've got to get some new rear tyres for my 190e 2.6. Currently I've got P6000's on there, the tyre size is 205/55/R15.
Q: Is this size normal for a 190? Will it have an effect on speedo readings?
Q2: What tyres would you recommend? I've got it down to three choices:
1. P6000 - it's what's there now, £67, but by all accounts a rather dated design.
2. Falken ZE 512 - £45 - been highly recommended by the retailer for a heavy car, but only for use on the front, as it's uni-directional, and I can't mix and match. Currently finding favour as standard fit on Audis I believe.
3. Toyo Proxes T1-R - £62 - grip like an octopus, but apparently designed for sports cars, which sadly ain't really my Merc. Need warming up etc eto get decent grip.
Which of these would you recommend? Or any others. Some quick advice appreciated, as I need them to pass me MOT!
Cheers,
