    Sorry, another question: Original tyre compressor

    I made my previous thread "Fixed" and don't know how to unfix it so I had to start another! Having packed away my new skinny spare wheel, I realised what the "hole" to the left hand side of the boot is for! The compressor for said skinny wheel! Now, I do have a compressor, but it doesn't...

    Tyre Sensors warning light on

    Got a three questions about my sl500 2003 Having bought my car recently the dash is showing a wheel pressure light failure. I do understand due to the age of the car the battery in the sensors have gone flat over a five to ten year period. So my questions is: Any one know of a place...

    Tyre pressure readout?

    W221 s320. I was wondering if there was a way to get the system to show the actual pressure of the tyres, instead of just saying "check tyre pressure". Surely it's measuring the pressure somehow, as it knows when it's low... Or is it doing some other fancy tricks to figure it out?

    Had 2 new tyre valves fitted today and in the process one of the alloys has sustained a light amount of damage to the clear coat on the diamond cut face of the alloy.

    GLC Tyre Noise - Humming very loud

    Hello, I picked up a 2016 GLC AMG Premium yesterday, it has 20 inch Bridgestone tyres on the optional alloys. (255/45 R20 MOE) The car is great other than one rather annoying issue. At motorway speeds the car emits a humming noise from the tyres, this happens nearly all of the time a...

    Valve replaceable without tyre pressure monitor replacement?

    Does anyone know if just the valve can be replaced or does the TPM also have to be replaced if the valve is leaking?

    Tyre load rating - Dealer opinion

    I have just bought a W212 E350 CDI saloon for my wife from the main dealer in Edinburgh. Now, normally I check everything like a hawk but this time I didn't. All the tyres on the car said Continental and have plenty of tread depth but, on closer inspection when we got the car home, one of them...

    New tyre tread depth ?

    Picked the new car up yesterday and whilst having a good look around it after getting it home I had a look at the tread depth on the 235 & 255 Continentals fitted to it. I was surprised to find that they only had 7mm of tread, I checked the rear tyre depth on my wife's car (probably done about...

    Forget tyre blackening, light grey appears to be the 'in' thing

    Not sure about the look myself... tyres just looks faded or UV degraded :) Or maybe something went horribly wrong with the tyres on the showcased C43 AMG coupe

    Tyre finishes

    Can anyone recommend a reasonably long lasting tyre finish that leaves a satin type of finish as opposed to the high gloss ones that seem to proliferate. Prefer the more subdued effect of a satin finish, more akin to the look of a new tyre.:D

I run 19s with the standard 255s currently. Will...

    Tyre sizes .. need some advice please

    Hi Just got myself a nice 2004 SLK 200. Very happy with it apart from one thing. Previous owner had two new rear tyres fitted ( standard 16" alloys ) they are 255x55x16 instead of the normal 255x50x16 They look a bit odd as they literally fill the wheel arch and look a little "balloon " like -...
