[WoodyBristol]

Hello

CLK 320 Cabriolet 2005 (A209)

I'm replacing my tyres and would really appreciate your recommendations.

Possibly -

Front - Yokohama : 225/45 W 17 : Advan Sport V105 (Mercedes fitment)
Rear - Yokohama : 245/40 W 17 : Advan Sport V105 (Mercedes fitment)

Over to you the experts

Not a fan of Yokohamas myself.

I'd go with Uniroyal Rainsport 3 or 5 or Falken FK510.
I've used Rainsports on all our cars and they've been outstanding. I have FK510s on the rear of our SL500 (can't get Rainsports in that size) and am very impressed. Far better than the Goodyear Asymmetric 2s that came off.

I’m a big fan of Goodyear ecocontact. Very impressed with the wet weather grip (and economy)

Uniroyal RainSport 5. I have used them for 4 years and no complaints at all.

For the money they really can't be beaten

What’s your budget buddy . Check Camskill and Tyreleader for prices .
I’m another fan of Uniroyal but they did jump in prices for my change this year so I ended up getting some Nexen N’Fera’ s . They are A rated wet and quiet I paid £50-60 each .
If this is your first rear wheel drive and depending on how much you drive and use the car , maybe consider going all season tyres ?
I put both my MB’s onto winter tyres (another set of wheels ) in the winter
Falken FK510’s ?? Come up on the forum as well

If you like Yokos, have a look at the Advan Fleva too...

I'd go with Uniroyal Rainsport 3 or 5. I have the 3's on my 320 clk and the grip and smoothness is excellent! (Although now a lot more expensive than the 5's!). Same sizes as yours.

And they are a nice attractive Tyre!

Another choice, and personal experience is Nokian Powerproof or Z-line and Nexen Primus SU1 or N-blue HD Plus.

Hello everyone.

Firstly thank you all for your tyre recommendations.

Yesterday I had a set of Avon ZV7 fitted - £303 at ATS Euromaster. The difference that they make is absolutely phenomenal, the grip is insane.

I'm really pleased with my choice.

I sometimes wonder why some people ask for recommendations and then totally ignore it......

Just as long as he's happy that's all that matters I suppose.....???

I've run Avons before, very pleased with them. So much so that ZV7 is a possible replacement for the OE P Zero when they expire!
