S212 winter wheels and tyres

[Lennox]

Looking to get a set to compliment my new car, once it arrives... I had a set for my 5 series and the wifes 1 series, they were well worth the cash. Almost got our money back on both after 2 winters if use..... Both were bmw official sets with Dunlop 4D tyres....

So, Merc, less apparent option...

Was offered these Brabus style alloys for*£1279.00 with Kumhi KW27 winter tyres.... Any ideas/anyone used these tyres?

Item: 4 x 19" Diamond Raptor Alloy Wheels & 4 x 245/35/19 Nankang Tyres 1395852411-528

You can pick up a set of 4 new premium winter tyres...
Tyre 245/40 R18 winter : discount price, free delivery - Tyre Leader

So for ~£850 fitted you get a full set plus new top grade tyres.

cheers, Steve

Superb..... Man these are sweet.... And in a darker hue they will be ideal..... Looking at the Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme... Circa £850, need to check on delivery.

Great spot!

Have you looked at all season tyres?

I am fitting the 16" Nokian All Weather Plus to my W210 soon, they are rated as a full winter (and Nokian are Finnish and know a bit about winter tyres - have a set for my VW T4).

And they are rated for summer too.

It's a lease car on full maintenance, therefore, I don't want to use them long term.... Help resale (of the snow tyres) and use the OEM tyres most of the time.

I'm also a keen snowboarder so will need the best snowability... I can on the E

I had Dunlop 4Ds on the 535d and famously over took a Discovery 4 on vanity rims trying to get traction. Lol.

We have the Kumhos on the SLK for the winter. Very impressed over the last 2 winters.
