E400d 4matic saloon
Hi guys. I have a 2019 E400d saloon which suffers from the crabbing that affects other models (C43, GLC etc). It has 19” wheels with Michelin Primacy Runflats. It happens in summer and winter and the front tyres have scrubbed flat in 10000 miles. Has anyone else had this on an E class? Should I switch to non run flats? Are there warranty issues or roadside assistance issues if I do? I love the car 99% of the time. I hate it every time I reverse off the drive.

Switch to all seasons is the Mercedes ”fix”
I’d also dump the run flats (and 19” rims if it was mine…) ;)

Do you have to change all 4 tyres at the same time or can you do the front tyres then the rears when they need changes in regards to run flats.
