£5k summer fun - Blimey!

[E55BOF]

Every tyre has the week it was moulded on it if you know what to look for. It stopped me buying "new" tyres that had been at the tyre place for nearly 3 years!!!!

Yes, I know, but I can't read the númbers on my screen with any certainty (if at all; I think one of the rears is 48/23, but can't make out any of the others...) in those pics, so I wasn't going by that. If they were all fitted in 2023 they should be fine, which would suggest the cheapo-cheapo Ditchfinder has been fitted recently to get the car sold after one tyre had to be scrapped. The ones on the front don't look to have much tread, mind... I'll find out on Monday.

I don't think these alloys were diamond cut as standard, and in any event, this style has AMG set well back from the lip.

I think if redoing the powder coat finish they appear to have currently, this is much more forgiving and they could withstand quite a few refurbs?

The depth of the AMG logo looks quite shallow, which suggests it has been machined at least once already. That's very probable on a fourteen-year-old car with 113k miles on it, I'd say.

It won't look as good in the metal as in the pictures, of course; they never do...
