Thank you all who have replied, I am guessing I will have to wait until the conversion is finished and then take to a tyre shop and see what they recommend. The car has 18 inch on currently the rear tyres are 245/45 ZR18, and the front are 225/45 ZR18. The conversion people are saying go to 19...

Hi and Good Morning, yes I am living here in Malaysia a long way from good old UK where I am from originally. the picture indeed is what they are supposedly going to transform the car into. I like the look but also I should add I am in my 60's so i am not going to be belting around like yous...

brilliant thanks for the reply, I am only looking for peoples thought sand recommendations simply because I have no idea in this field.

My new E250 will be a Wald Black Bison upgrade and the shot wants to put on 19 inch wheels. They are recommending 275 width wheels, i fear these may be too wide does anyone have any thoughts pn this? Would the 245 be a better tyre or would they look too small?

Hi and Thanks for replying, I have a C200 with std wheel on it, the car I am buying will look somewhat more sporty however I am not actually planning to speed around in it. I prefer the quiet comfortable sort of ride. the upgrade to 19 inch wheels is on the recommendation of the shop doing the...

Hi and Thanks for taking time to respond, I agree and was not looking for an infinite answer. I am just curious what others are driving and why. I have Michelin Primacy 3 st on my C200 and they seem ok. But as I said interested in what others are doing.

Hi Guys, I have just bought me second ever Mercedes, it is a W212 E250 salon 2016 model. I am currently getting it resprayed and adding a body kit, at the same time I am going to up grade the wheels from 18 -19 inch. Which tyres do you guys run that are both quiet and long wearing? I see the...

Thank you for the input guys I live in the mountain areas central Malaysia and the roads are very windy so i guess this attributes to the wear. I was impressed with the grip of the MC5's but was not impressed with the wear. I will look for Michelins next time. I am also looking to go down from...

Hi guys, I have posted on several forums without a single answer, so after much experimentation I have finally worked out how to remove the centre headrest. My car is a UK spec Mercedes c class c200 Avantgarde Kompressor 1998 cc 2001 year estate. The rear seat has 3 headrests, the 2 outside...

My car is the Mercedes c class c200 s203 2001 estate. I am currently running 18inch wheels and continental mc5 tyres, this was the original combination when i bought the car. The current tyres I recently put on in Jan this year because i followed what was already on the car and now the car has...

Hi guys I really appreciate your input for this. I realise what you say to be correct and true. I was hoping for some sort of suggestions which you have given me. My problem is I live quite aways from the city and the main Mercedes dealers. I live in the hills of Malaysia and some 3 hours or so...

I feel quite dumb to ask this but I have searched high and low for the answer. I have the haynes manual also not mentioned. I have a c200 2001 year AMG w203 T model estate. I live in Malaysia but it is a UK import. I want to fit seat covers in it but I cannot see how to raise and remove the...

Thanks for the info The fuel line is what my workshop pointed to also but they were wanting to change the fuel pump. I stopped this because up until now like as suggested in one of the earlier replies I was thinking my workshop was guessing. I could ask them to look at this. Thanks for the...

Hi Chaps, I have a C200 Estate 2001 w203 the engine is the m111 1998cc supercharged version. When I purchased the car last year my top speed was in excess of 135 mph and I could easily overtake another vehicle in 3 rd gear with ease. The car could really get up and go and was a magic car to...

Hi Bruce, Many thanks for the reply, This is good news and I will check this MAF, My mechanic has a diagnostic tool but not sure if it is STAR. It is some sort of wireless connection that he plugs a module into the car then can read from it on an iPad like device. So far he has not mentioned...
