Need some advice please. Yesterday I purchased a 2015 C200 AMG petrol estate as an approved used Mercedes with only 3k miles. Test drive fine but the on journey home the road noise particularly on some motorway sections is awful. A sort of droning. Smooth surface roads seem better but it gets worse at higher speeds. The tyres are the original Continental ContisportContact with MO rating.
Just sold previous model also a Sport AMG and it was really quiet but running on Kumho tyres.
This is really spoiling my enjoyment of the car. I would like to reject it. I'm sure it is the tyres judging by the change in droning sound corresponding to different road surface.
Any suggestions? Take it back to Mercedes? Change the tyres to a different brand? Anyone had similar problems?
Any advice welcome.
