Posts: 1 C43 Suspension and tyre wear
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My last two sets of front rubber wore on the inner and outer edge, the geometry is in good shape, checked after both sets on the MB Computer. tyre pressures ok, had track rod ends replaced 10k ago. Spoke to Michelln about the Pilot Sport 11's and they have suggested a little more pressure in the tyre 32 PSI instead of 30. one thing that I have noticed is when on hard lock, slow speed comng out of a drive way, the tyres seem to make a scrubbing noise. is there a suspension component that might need changing that could have worn and caused excessive cant of the wheel when turning on full lock at low speed. I have also noticed a small knocking noise when going over bumps in the road. I have had the car 4.5 years and 63k miles and it's been great.
One further thing, can I replace the standard 17" AMG 11 7.5j 225 x40 front and 8.5j 245 X45 for E55 18" wheels?
Thanks in Advance Malcolm
