    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    Thank you. For the front there will be -1.02% error and the rear there is -0.88% error if I follow the brabus 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 guideline. Is this reasonable?

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    I had the 19 inches before with no issues, I got the amg 20’s because I like the look of them.

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    I’m also get tyre skipping occurring during full lock, I think maybe the tyres being stretched is a potential cause of this

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    Yes, ill get a picture of the wheels, you’ll see the tyre is stretched and doesn’t sit flush with the face of the alloy, since it is stretched the rim protection doesn’t protect the rim, also at the bottom it looks really thin and disproportionate for the car, i’m worried about it being more...

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    The rear was fine I didn’t need spacers I just put them in since the front looked wider than the back. The front I first got a 5mm offset put in and there was barely a hairline gap so the garage increased it to 10mm. Since mine is e400d 4matic the front calipers are the bigger merc calipers by...

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    The current tyre on my rears are 9.5j alloy with 275/30/20 tyre and they look stretched, If I follow the first highlighted option which Is 255/35/20 for 9.5j then wouldn’t that cause the tyre to be even more stretched since the tyre width is shorter for that same alloy size?

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    Thank you. So I have 8.5j and 9.5j. Basically if I want to change from the approved Mercedes alloys to the brabus setup I’d have to change all 4 tyres on my current alloy? This won’t affect the 4matic system would it?

    Changing tyre size past the recommend merc tyre size.

    Hi all, I’ve got a 2019 Mercedes e400d 4matic saloon with 20 inch alloys. The tyres fitted are following the guidelines from merc which is 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. I feel like the tyre profile is a bit too low/thin and the tyres seem to be stretched due to the alloys being 20inch AMG replicas...

    W213 19inch or 20inch 507 alloys

    Is that better or worse than having 19inch with 40 35 runflat profile tyres?

    W213 19inch or 20inch 507 alloys

    Currently I’ve got 19inch with 40 and 35 sidewall but they’re run flats, feels alright I don’t really notice it being uncomfortable

    W213 19inch or 20inch 507 alloys

    Is it that much of a difference? Even if I don’t get run flats and opt for a good set of tyres? Not sure if 19inch 507 alloys would suit this merc, I feel like 20’s would look good, but not the 19s.

    W213 19inch or 20inch 507 alloys

    My question really is would 20inch 507 be suitable or would the 19inch look better? I’m also considering ride comfort and durability of the alloys.

    W213 19inch or 20inch 507 alloys

    I’m thinking of upgrading my 19inch standard amg alloys to either the 507 satin black 19inch or the 20inch version. Has anyone got these and what are your opinions? I have a black e400d saloon 2019. Dechromed as well, just want it to look abit more sportier.

    P059F77 Radiator shutter does not close

    Hi all, I’ve got a fault code as shown in the title which states “Radiator shutter 1 does not close. The command position cannot be reached.” My merc specialist guy advised it’s alright just leave it. But will this cause any issues to the engine performance or long term health of the car? I’m...

    Quick question cold engine start w213 e400d

    Hi all, So I’ve noticed when I start on my Mercedes (e400d 2019) the power feels a lot less than how it normally drives and I notice that when I look at my g-force reading which shows it reaches around 500nm in the first 10 minutes or so of driving, after some time I get the full 700nm power...

    C300d saloon or E220 coupe 2018/19

    Thank you for the advice. Yeah the thing is I’m looking at fuel economy too, the c300d 2018 has a new engine that gives around 56mpg combined based on honest John reviews. Additionally you get 241bhp. The e350 coupe 2019 is more expensive and the mpg isn’t great I think it’s around 35-40mpg...

    C300d saloon or E220 coupe 2018/19

    Hi all, I am just looking for some advice really. What are peoples thought on getting either a c300d saloon 2018 (facelift 241bph) or the e220 coupe (201bph)? For me it’s a hard decision between performance, luxury and practicality. Performance wise I think the c300d would be more fun to...

    C350 2013 limp mode no engine lights, no boost/turbo

    Hi, I’ve got a 2013 Mercedes c350, when I bought it was remapped. The problem I have is that when I go on motorway drives after about 30 mins it goes into a sort of limp mode, but no engine lights come up, i feel as though it has cut the turbo out, i can still run the car at 70mph, once I get...
