Working on my front bumper today I discovered the attached :eek::eek::eek:
Gutted as the rest of tyre has loads of life left in it :(
Gonna take it into garage as soon as I can, how dangerous is this?
It's not rubbing so it must be the alignment.
had a VHC done at MB today and their video showed uneven tyre wear front and back.
Both fronts were wearing on the inside and outside section, by 3mm compared to the middle. They are pirelli p zero's 245/35/19's with 38psi
The rears are 1.5mm less on the inside edge compared with the...
May seem a silly Question but why does Mercedes Put different Tyres on the back as to the front ?
On a 17" wheel they are the same size but I have the AMG Style 18" wheels and they are front 225x45x18 front and 245x40x18 rear

I have recently put a set of OEM 18" sport wheels on my W211 that came with 17" wheels.
Does anybody have a picture of the inside of the fuel cap of a W211 Sport? I am unsure as to what pressures I should be running front and rear.
Don't want to wear the new Michelin PS4 unevenly
I decided to have all four wheels balanced as the car has developed a judder at speed and it's hard to tell if it's front or rear in modern cars.
Two of my tyres seem to have become misshaped, so not running true around their circumference.
It got me thinking that perhaps they had...
Hey guys,
What tyres brands do you all fit?
I tend to stick with Michelin or Continentals
Paying £160 each for rears, and £110 for fronts. (18")
However almost all the alloys I see for sale on gumtree seem to be fitted with random brands I've never heard of. These cost around 50 fully...
Hi,
My lovely wife has booked me a training/trackday at Silverstone. Needless to say, I'm VERY excited!
I had a couple of questions as I've not done a day at a 'proper' race track, or taken such a coveted car as my c63. I'm not bothered about being the fastest thing on the track (I'm sure I...
Hi guys,
I am not sure if this has been covered before... I will soon need to change the rear tyres on my W212 saloon but I'm not sure what to do. Their size is 245/45/17 and I have Hankooks MO in 95W. I am of the opinion that they haven't lasted too long (around 25-26,000 km) and I am...
Anyone want a set of Vredstein Wintrac Xtreme S ? 235/35 R 19 & 255/35 R 19 . Only used last winter . Excellent condition , approx 6.5mm tread , no punctures or side wall damage . I found these to be a superb winter tyre on my C63 . £ 350 , they are up on Ebay from today .
I have a very slow leak in front tyre c. 0.5 Bar over 2 weeks and wondering if using a sealant, such as Slime, that is fed through the valve a viable fix? I am considered using Slime as it does not harm the run flat pressure sensors.
I have already had the tyre refitted and the rims...

As New Bridgestone Tyre 285/30/19 (Cost me £240 and covered 100 miles before coming off for new set of MSS)
New 19" Bridgestone Potenza 285/30/19 | eBay
Just had the first service and discovered that all 4 tyres are worn to the same depth. This is leading to a very big bill when all 4 tyres need changing at the same time.
I was intrigued however, as I thought that most drive went to the rear wheels and the fronts only when needed. Is it that...
Hello,
I have a 1988 R107 500SL (EU MODEL, LHD)
I would like to have the tyres changed but unsure on the OEM factory specification.
Currently the car has;
225/55/16 all around
Michelin Tyres
Mercedes dealers say they can supply AVON tyres.
Would the OEM specification be...
Checking the wife's tyre pressures out this morning I always have a look for damage and anything untoward, and came across cracks on both back tyres running completely all the way around the tyre.
Only the backs have these both fronts are OK.
Tyre's look like a mid range budget one's...
My tyre pressure warning light is constantly on even after I put air in the tyres.
The pressure changes throughout the journey - for example sometimes it will display pressure of 215 rising to 235 five minutes later.
I have 19" alloys - any idea what the ideal pressure should be?
I've noticed excessive tyre wear on the inner of both front wheels so took my CLS 320cdi for a full Geo test (they are great by the way, well worth £30)
Found that i have an issue with too much negative camber. see attached readout.
Anyone else had the same issues before i start to...
My C class Merc needs new rear tyres. The tyre valves are the original metal
covered ones with a chrome cap. When new tyres are fitted are the new valves
the same? i.e. chrome. Are these special valves or are the metal coverings simply used again?
I want to use TyresOnThe drive, are they...
