- Mercedes C220 Sport Estate, 2014, S205
Please could I ask some opinions on brakes and tyres of this model? Could I ask in your replies whether you own this particular model and what variation?
We own a C220d Sport Estate (S205) from new (bought December 2014) and have had to replace tyres and rear discs and pads at what I consider to be low mileage. The excuse given is that these are down to different driving styles; yet I can assure you neither my wife nor I are what one would describe as boy racers and throwing the car around corners.
I am trying to canvas what other people have actually experienced or "expert" opinion on acceptable lifespan is:
Tyres - Original set of Continentals replaced at less than 10k miles
Brakes (both discs and pads rear) - replaced at 19.5k as both showing down to minimum acceptable levels.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
