    Tyre Skipping: Now it's my fault for buying a car with 20 inch rims.

    An interesting conversation with AMG yesterday following a referral by MB C.S regarding my GLA45AMG tyre skipping. In summary, I was informed the tyre skipping I am experiencing is characteristically different to that experienced by GLC owners. (Having viewed YouTube videos from GLC owners...

    Help: Non- GLC Tyre Skipping.

    Having spoken with AMG technical, they are going to carry out a technical inspection of my GLA45<AMG next week due to it experiencing the same tyre crabbing issues as GLC owners. I would really appreciate inputs via this forum from any 'non GLC owners' who are experiencing tyre crabbing. This...

    New E-Class Coupe - Wheels decision

    Tomo 123. Having a nightmare with my GLA45 AMG as only one tyre (continental) is available for my 20 inch and it is a summer use with a recommendation to change when the temperature drops below 7 degrees Celsius. You cannot get any other tyre (235/40R20) in the UK other than the Continental...

    GLA45 AMG Tyre issues!!

    rf065: you are right, but as it was an ex demo with the wheels already fitted I would have hoped they would think it important enough to mention that the tyres are summer use and may not be suitable for cold winters. An important fact in my eyes when purchasing a performance car. May be the...

    GLA45 AMG Tyre issues!!

    Mhary: Many thanks for the above. Very helpful. It might be me but I'm a little miffed that they sold me a £53k car (many extras) that one can only fit Continental Summer Tyres on and didn't think to tell me. I have sent them the Continental 'safety advice' on summer and winter tyres and...

    Gla45 AMG Tyre Skipping

    Colleagues, Many thanks for the above, hopefully more GLA45 owners will be able to add their experience. Having perused YouTube tyre crabbing videos from GLC owners, mine does exactly the same. Each time the noise sounds like a trackrod has snapped. Very pronounced.

    Gla45 AMG Tyre Skipping

    DSM10000- thanks. It's down to the steering setup differences between left and right hand drives. MB are now offering GLC owners new all weather tyres or reduced size rims due to a threat of legal action. Mine has exactly the same issues that GLC owners reported and this was witnessed by the...

    Gla45 AMG Tyre Skipping

    DSM10000- thanks will look again now. Aware of widespread GLC posts and some C43 but not relating specifically to the GLA 45 AMG which is what I need albeit I may have missed them. Cheers. Ian.

    GLA45 AMG Tyre issues!!

    Colleagues, I purchased a 2016 GLA 45 AMG (ex demo) with 20 inch AMG wheels. Due to a tyre skipping issue I have now learnt that the car is fitted with Continental 'Summer tyres' and following discussion with my dealership have been advised that 'only Continental Summer Tyres' ('235/40/zr20 96y)...

    Gla45 AMG Tyre Skipping

    Apologies if a thread already exists....New to MBC. 1) Tyre skipping/crabbing on my 2016 GLA45 AMG with 20inch AMG wheels. Has anyone else experienced the same issue as GLC and C43 owners. I reported mine some months ago and MB are still saying they are unaware of any issue with GLA's on 20 inch...
