Does it only effect cars with low profile tyres fitted I wounder
My GLC tyres are - 255 / 45 / R20 - not really sporty Low Profile.

Does it only effect cars with low profile tyres fitted I wounder
To get a feel for the amount of juddering and bouncing I am seeing with my GLC, please take a look at this video taken earlier this evening - hope this works,

Temperature was around 3 c, damp surface, although no different on a dry road surface
The video doesn’t truly do justice to how much the car bounces and how bad the noise is - very sad MB owner
But it's clearly not just a function of wheel diameter or tyre profile when considering other models such as the GL which has a longer wheelbase and a wider track.My GL class also on 21" wheels that was traded in for my GLC most definitely did not do that at all.

This issue seems to affect all 4WD vehicles built on the same platform (C, GLC, etc.) to a greater or lesser extent, so it really is a characteristic of that design. While I sympathise with those who are unhappy with the trait, I fear that there are only two solutions available to you: learn to accept it or sell the car.

Interesting opinion on the problem and resolution here.

That in itself is interesting for two reasons: 1) It indicates that the chosen suspension geometry is causing significant tyre scrubbing; 2) the juddering / knocking gets worse as tyres wear, so with tyres that worn I would imagine it to be quite pronounced.I took a closer look at the tyres on my GLC today and was shocked to see that after just 8,000 miles the tread on the outer edge / 2" strip is virtually worn away, the rears are still like new - yikes.

Definitely worth pursuing it as an issue with the dealer.
To the extent that there seems to be excessive tyre scrub resulting in premature tyre wear, yes. Tony Mac's post is (unless I've missed something in the multiple threads that are running on this, and if so I apologise) the first quantifiable evidence I've seen reported. That's important because it takes away subjectivity and is easily arguable as not acceptable.So are you changing your position that this is just a characteristic?
