- Previous 1994 SL500, 2001 W210 E430 and 2003 Designo S500 Current 2005 S211 E270
I bought a 2005 E270 estate last week.
It has full Mercedes history and well looked after but unfortunately the tyres were changed for some ditch finders before the sale to me.
It sits on 16 inch 13 hole wheels and they are straight but probably only 6 out of 10 for condition so i am considering changing them also.
Was surprised to find 16 inch tyres cost more than 17’s.
Debating changing wheels and tyres to 17’s but wouldnt want to lose ride comfort.
Also I quite like being 100% as factory so may refurb the 16’s and bite the bullet on pricier tyres.
Does anyone have advice or experienc in running 17’s versus 16’s?
Thanks
