I bought a pre reg 19 in October and I had heard about the crabbing but didn't realise it would be so bad. Dealer didn't mention it. I emailed the dealer on the day I collected it when I got home and at first they tried to fob me off saying I would have to buy them. I wasn't having that so I emailed customer services, they spoke to AMG in Germany and AMG got in touch with me. They said it was a characteristic but could understand why I didn't like it and said the dealer would be back in touch to arrange an appointment. They fitted a set of Bridgestone all weather tyres and it solved the issue. No crabbing at all. My partner's a35 does it in the cold but not any way as bad as my c43 did.Ive been reading this thread with interest as my new 19 plate C43 suffers dreadfully from this as I have to apply maximum lock to get off my drive every morning.
I took the car to MB at Southport this week for its first service ready to start negotiations regarding new tyres and the surprising response once they checked my car and contacted the warranty dept was "no problem sir 4 new tyres are on order for you"
Not sure what flavour tyres are coming but Ill report back once theyre on.
Thankyou MBClub members for doing all the hard work in advance of me turning up.
Cheers

I'm sure different tyres will sort it
