Hi, Am finalising new wheels & tyres for my W215 600TT and going up to 19" and would like to keep the 40 tyre profile on the rear for a softer ride -but this increases the car's real speed by 3mph at an indicated 60mph. I know you can change the tyre profiles in the comand system but...

Hi Guy's, I've a Mercedes C Class, C220 CDI Sport (2010 my), and I was wondering what would be the consequence of fitting the same size tyres to the front wheels that are fitted on the rear wheels? All of the wheels are 17" with 225/45/17 tyres on the front and 245/40/17 tyres on the rear.

Hi guys, I've just bought a set of 18" wheels for my w202. I want to order some tyres but want to be 100% before ordering. The fronts are 8.5 so I was thinking 225/40/18 The rears are 9 so do I 245/40/18 or do I need to drop the profile to 35? Seems it may ride harsh on a 35? Sorry...

Hello everyone, bit of a strange request, again!... My old s124 had the really useful load cover with dog mesh section. I'm thinking of retro fitting one to our vw multivan. (Square 80's shape). Am I right in assuming the biggest size would be one from an s210? They look squarer and broader...

If an alloy is 6.5J X15, ET45 would it fit tyres 195 65 r15 ? How do you determine if tyre is correct for certain size alloy?

Only had the motor a week: but find that this '95 E220 (W124) has 8 hole 16" alloy rims - which look - almost - correct ? Handbook gives tyre sizes for a 15" rim . Clearly the last set of tyres followed the handbook narrowest width advice as they are 195s, but look over stretched to the rims...

Just been on the phone to Mercedes Leicester to order a new 15 inch alloy for my c280 and am pleased to say that i''m amazed at the price. Only £96.00 . I thought it was going to be double or treble that amount. One thing they did say is that i should have 7 J's on the rear and 6.5 J's on the...

The W204 C Class with 17" wheels is on 225/45 tyres, while the W207 E Class (but based on the W204 platform) is on 235/45 tyres. Having verified with GPS the speedometer inaccuracy on my C class, with it reading about 2 % high, I was wondering if there would be any clearance issues in using...

I've had a mobile tyres fitter here to fit winter tyres to some spare wheels, and to fit them to the CLS (219). The tyres are fitted but the wheels aren't on because the rear wheel nuts aren't the right length? I'm trying to fit these In place of these What wheel nuts do I need, the new...

Hi, Looking to change the wheels on my W210 from 16" wheels to 18" wheels. Been looking at monoblock classic AMG style wheels. Do these size wheels 18"x 8.5" offset ET35 all round sound ok? Next tyre size, does 235/40X18 front sound right? 265/35X18 Rears sound ok? If not any...

The standard tyres on my C320 CDI Sport are 225/17 front and 255/17 rear. I've changed to 18" wheels and informed my insurance company. But what is theri attitude to changing tyre sizes? Do I have to stick to 225 and 255? I'm mainly concerned with what would happen if I went narrower on the back...

I phoned Camskill for some advice on what size winter tyres to order for standard 18'' rims. The guy was very helpful but didn't know what size Merc recommend? I'm still waiting for the dealership to get back to me with this information.... I'm keen to fit manufacturer spec to avoid any...

My pads / suspension shims on the rear have 4 dots on them so I guess there 17mm high. Is there a thicker pad available for the rear suspension set up on a w202.

I quite like to experiment with non standard tyre sizes. I'm just wondering if this would void my issurance? Clearly aftermarket wheels are legal and many are not the same size as the original. Hence, non standard tyre sizes are used on such wheels. I'm thinking all should be OK as long as tyres...
