Hey everyone! I used to post on this forum many moons ago under a different name but I think it died
Anyway I’m back! And I do have a query...
I have a late 2018 S205 C220d Sport PP which I rather enjoy and it’s a nice return to Mercedes ownership having recently had a few Fords and until a few months ago a BMW F31 320d M Sport
I’m finding this S205 Sport a little less sharp on the road than I’d prefer eg when tackling a bend. Perhaps mistakenly, I thought the Sport would have slighter firmer suspension than it actually has but I do wonder if the main issue is actually the rims & tyres. It’s a whole lot squishy compared to the BMW which had a way firmer ride (and way lower profile tyres) and the BMW was certainly more enjoyable to hoon about in
Should I perhaps be looking at a different wheel/tyre combo first to make the ride a little firmer before I get too worried, or am I simply buggered as I should have got the AMG Line trim in lieu of the Sport?
The car currently has 225/50 17s front & rear. The BMW was 19s and runflats of course
