I read somewhere recently, probably an old 'Wives' tale, that if you fit, say 295 R19 tyres instead of the MB recommended 285 R19 the extra width helps the tyre wall, with its built in rim protector, provide a little more protection from kerbing, because it protrudes a little more.

Is it possible to have to much tyre width? The reason behind my question is when I first put 17 inch wheels on my 230ce I had all sorts of steering problems that could not be resolved (the main one being that the cars front wheels wanted to folow every rut and undulation on the road) I finally...
