Have been reading others threads with slightly confused explanations for symptoms of problems with driving.
When i bought my C class it handled very well even in the wet.......changed to four new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 tyres and in the wet the front or back end will not ride over a bump neatly but will do a lurch a skip or even a slide to the left or right depending how big the bump in the road is.
Have put up with this for a couple of years until i had a nail in a front tyre and was too near the sidewall for a repair so now have two new F1`s on the front but they are the Assymetric 3 the latest one out and lo and behold the front does not skip anymore but the back still does still on Assymetric 2 ??
Also all the vibration when braking on the front has gone and i blamed a bad MB alloy wheel as now the amount of weights for balancing is halved ....the same amount on both front wheels.
I thought these make of tyres were supposed to be superb but i am having second thoughts although i do find now in this era it is the same with everything one buys?
