Hi guys, When I bought my CLK 240 the previous owner had 225/50/R16 on both axles, but I believe the wheels are still the staggered ones that were 205/55/R16 on 7J in the front and 225/50/R16 on the 8J in the back. They are all cheap tyres and since I often drive to Germany I would like to...

Thank you! I'm going to give them a call tomorrow morning to see if they can check that its all properly torqued to spec.
