tyre

Hi I have just joined this group for some help having recently purchased my first Mercedes (a 2010 reg diesel 350CLS). I purchased my vehicle from Mercedes Benz Wakefield in March 2015. All was fine until about April when a noise that can only be described as blowing into a milk bottle began to...

Hi all, I've just purchased a set of staggered 18 inch 2 piece AMG split rims for my R129. They are 8.5 J front and 10 J rear. Does anyone know what the recommended tyres size would be. As an example, I've been told that it is both 265 and 275 for rear, so confused. Also, what tyre brand /...

The standard wheels are 14inch 5.5 - originally the tyres were 175 14 s (yes, no second number). I am able to fit 195 70s to these, but I have the option of some rare 15 inch 5.5 wheels - what tyre size should I look at to remain the same diameter etc as the 195/70s? (I know nothing about...

Yesterday I took my 2012 C63 PPP to have its tyres checked and then its MOT. Kwik Fit told me "Your tyres are good for another 1500 miles", which was a pleasant surprise. The MOT results was "Failed due to tyres being down to the canvass" an unpleasant surprise. I was frankly...

Can anyone advise on what selling price would be fair for a genuine AMG IV 2 Piece 8.5J X 19 EH2 ET30 in very good condition, no kerbing, fitted with 255/35 ZR19 tire with 5mm+ tread? I have 4 available.

Hi all, 23k on the clock and pulling terribly - front edges worn round. Probably same tyres from new on front. Had already swapped fronts over, re-aligned and drove OK for 10k, but pulling getting worse. Worn outside edge front left tyre edge implicated by very experienced (and most excellent)...

Hi guys I currently use turtle wax slick tyres which I apply with a small brush, I like the wet look but problem I have is it flicks up the side of car leaving small black dots everywhere even if I leave ot for a few hours, so question is what do u guys use and your experiences with your chosen...

With a proposed move to 18" wheels. Could be interesting, although Bernie is very much against Michelin joining saying they would produce rock hard tyres you put on in January and remove in December! Michelin applies to become official tyre supplier of Formula 1 | FORMULA 1 news |...

Hi I have tyre pressure loss warning on my s211 e280 and was wondering what is required to add tyre pressure monitoring and will the latter enable the tyre pressures to be displayed? Thx Steel e

Hi..I currently have pirelli pzeros on my ML280 and have not been impressed with the wear rate. What are people recommendations for decent tyres with goo wear rate? Tyres will be 265/45/20. Thanks

Need to change tyres on our E320cdi, 235/45/17 Firestone Fire Hawks SZ90 fitted, these are to me good in the wet, have very low road noise but if the tyre ratings are to be believed the are a "F" rated for fuel economy. I've fitted pirelli p7's to the other W210 we have and they have been...

Somebody please tell me, 9500 miles with both front tyres needing replacing is unacceptable?? Pirelli Run Flat, 19", c250 W205 AMG Line. I got 20k out of the 18"s on my W204 Sport Plus. Both are completely worn on the outside edges and need replacing. Am gobsmacked! Similar experiences anyone??

My '03 E55K estate has Michelin PS3s fitted all round. The rears are down to 4mm (from 8mm new) tread after 6k miles. Just after fitting them I had all four wheels aligned by Wheels In Motion at 135K miles, and apart from slightly-out OSR toe-in because of a seized camber adjuster bolt (max. 15...

I need a pair of 20" rear tyres for the E55 and was just after a bit of input really and what you're all using? Reason I ask is that I normally fit Conti's no questions asked but, having fitted Toyo Proxes to the RR Sport and seeing them only half worn at 18k miles, I'm thinking of trying...

Hi guys...how dangerous are cracked tyre walls? My new car sailed through the mot... But I noticed the rear tyres were cracked... Probably due to the low mileage done by the last owner. What do you think about running them for a bit?

Hi i have just bought some 18 inch benz wheels for my vito. when i get tyres do i need to go xl (extra load) or rf(reinforced) they are 8.5 inch wide so what sort of profiles would people suggest? thanks

So, I visited MB dealer today and had a look of the face lifted W212 E series, one thing I noticed to be interesting is the tyre pressure label, which suggests significantly lower pressure configurations compared to my 2011 pre-face lift W212 for 17+ inches wheels: For example, my 2011 S212...
