Hi

I have found some cheap tyres at my local dealer (cheap for a reason of course!) that I can put on as winter tyres, they are 235x45x17 but they are DOT11, never fitted though.

Firstly would they fit the C250 AMG and would the DOT11 be ok?

Thanks
Paul.
 
By DOT 11 you mean they're 5 years old? How long do you envisage before you've used up the winters, more than a couple of years and I wouldn't do it.
 
I think you're technically not meant to run tyres that are ten years old or over.
 
If they were stored in a dark stockroom and never used they are probably OK. It's sunlight & UV rays that degrade the rubber.
