We have a set of 4 Nokian WR A3 235/55R17 103V XL tyres, which we used on last winter. We've now sold the car and no longer need the tyres, but rather than put them on fleabay, I thought we'd offer them on here first to be helpful. They are all in good condition and have been carefully...

I have a 2005 ML350 W163, currently running on the original 8.5 x 17 wheels with Dunlop SP sport 5000. These wheels are looking rather shabby and I feel that there is too much sidewall for good handling (I have never taken the car off road) I have obtained some 8.5 x 19 wheels, with 255/50/19...

C270 cdi 2005 Got a set of winter tyres on steel wheels. Do I need to fit a hub cap to protect the hub bearing?

Partner currently has an R171 SLK with 16" wheels, for which she has a set of winter tyres (225/45 at front, 245/40 at rear - same sizes as the standard summer tyres). Now planning on replacing with an R172. Will the winter tyres from the R171 fit on the R172 - possibly on a set of "winter...

Hi all With winter getting closer, do I opt for a new set of winter tyres on new 18inch rims for my CLS or purchase a cheap 4x4 for the winter months, the initial cost is about the same £1000

How good/bad are Mercedes in the winter? Particularly icy/snowy conditions? The reason I ask is BWM don't exactly have a great reputation when it comes to driving in the winter. Neither does any RWD car for that matter but how do Mercedes compare? I just don't want to get caught out in mine this...

Had these on the Merc last year but 16's don't clear the brakes on the BMW so I need another set in 17. £130 pick up from PE15 or arrange your own courier and I will wrap them up.

Dear All, Apologies if this has been covered previously. My C63 has 19" wheels. Planning to get some winter tyres, would buying a winter set of smaller 18" wheels be sensible? Would the, I presume, narrower tyres give an appreciable benefit in snowy conditions? I don't mind buying a second...

I have a set of the allegedly rare 16" W210 alloys, in ET41 offset, and they are supposed to fit the W124 without any arch mods, to give your car bigger wheels, without losing the OEM look. They are date stamped 1998. I can't make out the part number. Currently have bubbling paint, and have...

An old friend will be moving to the USA on November 16 to take up an 18 month consultancy role. He has removed four tyres from his 2011 E350 cabrio before it goes back to the leasing company and the tyres are available for sale. Here is the description he sent me. The tyres are Continental...

I'm mulling over my next project and I'm considering using R129 steel wheels which are normally fitted in conjunction with winter tyres, according to M-B themselves. Now the normal early R129 alloy wheel is 8Jx16 H2 ET34, the steel wheel is 8Jx16 H2 ET35 and both take the same tyre size...

Carried out the winter detail the other day. Had to get the bonnet resprayed first after the mother of all stone chips from on my way down to Trax, then treated her to the works. Wash Tar removed Clay bar Polish HD WAX New AMG mats Quick clean under the bonnet Lovely!

The ultimate car coat...

New to MB ownership and wanted to protect my investment in the winter months with a car cover. I've got no idea about the types that are available but I would assume that protecting against the inside scratching the paint and being water repellant are top of the list of "must haves" in a car...
