Hello everyone, have any of the X204 GLK 4 matic owners found the suspension to be very harsh? Have you tried solutions with different spring suspensions? Thank you

:(What size wheels and tyres and do you have run flats?

Modern “fashion” wheels and tyres are nice to look at, terrible to endure from the drivers seat

20” wheels and shortened springs = less suspension movement to absorb the bumps :(

I was going to say! That photo shows a decent bit of side wall.

Are the tyres run flats? I believe there is a crossclimate run flat, or "zero pressure" it might be termed?

Tyres that will work with zero pressure in them (run flats by another name)
