Can anyone suggest a softer compound tyre for my w210 e320cdi to get a more comfortable ride, Have checked all the normal things like suspension, spheres & shocks etc., nothing wrong with them, it just seems that the Avantgarde is a more hard ride than other type of Mercs. Advice of softer...

My first post! Hi everyone, I am the proud owner of my first W124 estate having searched for a good one for almost 2 years. Now of course a 'good one' according to my criteria doesn't guarantee that I have actually found a good one as I'm not a professional spanner man and I don't have any...
