Hello Guys - I have a 09 Plate CK 220Cdi.Normal Summer tyre orientation is 225/45 R17 & 245/40 R17 - So back in Summer,I decided to buy a set of winter tyres.I decided to do as much homework as possible and went first on Fulda's technical site,that allows you to put year,age and model type,to guide you to the correct tyres for your car.Secondly and most importantly,I checked in the rear of the Car Handbook and for Winter tyres,it clearly states (and concurs with Fulda) that 225/45 R17 91H are suitable for both axles !! - and I think I recall,I ran this past the forum.Anyway,this morning,I had the tyres fitted.The tyre guy said that they were a tight fit ? - anyway,I set off and immediately a message came up 'Reset run flat setting.....
After that,a red light came on saying 'check tyre pressures and settings' - I immediately went back to the tyre depot - I know that the guy had correctly inflated the tyres,but he was struggling to re-set the error message.I am hoping that once the 'Re-set run flat' error is done that everything will be fine,but I am still a little concerned if the size correlation has something to do with this.I am booked in at MB Dealership for a service on Wednesday,so any help that the forum can provide,I will be greatly appreciative of before hand.Incidentally,the tyres were re-fitted on to the exosting alloys and not steel rims,just to clarify,as I know this has some baring.
