S205 250 AMG Line
My S205 250d estate runs
AMG 19” rims and will soon need new rubber. Both the current and last set are Continental 5 run flats and each have managed over 25k As I have airmatic the ride is ok but I do find the tyres noisy and start to go off when down to 3mm. Looking for 225 40 19Y 93 on front and 255 35 19Y 96 on rear. Trying to decide between Michelin P3 and Goodyear asymmetric 3. The Goodyear are B rated for economy compared with the Continentals and Michelin’s E rating. The noise output of the Goodyear tyre is 68 decibels compared with my current Continentals at 72 and Michelin’s at 71. Seems like Goodyear May be the way to go. Neither option is MOE rated and the Goodyear’s Only seem to be BMW fit. I assume the Goodyear’s will work on my rims. Am I correct that the BMW fit is just to show they are approved for BMW and have a star on the side wall rather like the MOE on Mercedes approved runflats?
Anyone out there with S250d on 19” rims. On airmatic with a view.
