Hi all, I am looking for a pair of front tyres for my W210 and although originally fitted with 215/55/R16 tyres she now has 235/45/R17s on MB #2104011502 rims, this is a MB standard offering for this car.
My question is could I go to a 235/50/R17 tyre this will return the car to the original ride height and rolling circumference, and go a way to correcting the indicated speed error currently indicating 70mph, when doing 62MPH (GPS) would this have any impact on the handling…
The tyre selection is much reduced in the profile!
 
235/45-17 is the correct size for the replacement of 215/55-16.
235/45-17 gives 643mm diameter
215/55-16 gives 642mm diameter
235/50-17 gives 667mm diameter
