Hi all, my second post after my first 4 years ago I finally purchased a Mercedes....
I have an e350 cdi coupe and the back end seems a bit lively in the recent wet conditions. Now I know it's just rained so the roads will be a bit greasy, and the car has a fair amount of torque. But the wife is a bit worried that the car looses grip too easily.
We are both used to rwd cars having owned bms for the last 6 years.
So I was thinking of getting the geo hunter checked. Also wondering if the rear tyres might be a bit hard, or need to be wider?.
The car is a 2010 model with 255 18 rears.
Is there any suggestion on wider rears or sticky tyres that work well? Or is it a case of the engine giving out too much torque? I wonder what the c63 is like!
Thanks for any help/experiences
