- 2007 E280 CDI Sport (W211)
Hi to all - I've just purchased my first MB, a W211 E280 CDI Sport Estate with the 18" 10 spoke design. They look the business, but the ride quality is poor as they are 265/35 (yup......35!!) tyres at the rear which is the main source of the problem Therefore 2 questions:
1) Has anyone else experience of moving down to a 17 inch Ankaa or Rucha alloy design (as fitted to elegance model W211) and does it make a big difference to the ride quality because these tyres go to 245/45
and,
2) If what I'm after is a '45' ratio tyre to improve comfort, why not keep the nice 18 inch 10 spoke design and just add a 265/45 tyre.......will it fit or be SO big and have so much sidewall on it that it rubs...
Your knowledge and advice greatly appreciated please chaps..
Thanks,
Adam.
