CLC 220 CDI Michelin tyre recommendation

[Nikki2512]

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 sport 2 better for a CLC than the newer Pilot Sport 4, or does it not make a difference ?

Thanks

Nikki

makes no difference. eventually 1 will be phased out as the other is a later variant.

New Mercedes come with many different make of tyres, you can fit what ever you wish.

Makes no difference, put on what you rate yourself...

Thanks, expect I will go for the pilot sport 4 on the basis that this version will be around for a while and I will be able to match when needed at future date. Nikki

I think that's sensible

Michelin Pilot Sport on my CL rears, they seem great but haven't had much use so far.

Don't restrict yourself to Costco (although I can understand why you might do!) but try tyreleader.com and etyres.com too, the latter is a home fit/ balance/ scrap old tyre service.

Some other posters will have similar suggestions for other companies, well worth shopping around as tyres are a bulk commodity item!

True Craig, there's mytyres and Oponeo too, used both and had good prices/availability/service from both...
