Can I fit the same size tyres on the front of my C220 4 matic cabriolet ( 68 plate ) currently the fronts need changing as they are getting near the limit they are 225/45 ZR 18 continental- the rears are 245/45 ZR 18 and will this stop that dreadful crabbing issue on full lock ? I understand from reading other posts on here that all season tyres cures the problem?
 
Mitigates the problem but does not cure it completely- all season tyres have a more open tread pattern which permits more tread movement- certain manufacturer tyre tread models are better than others in this respect. you would be best to change to the same model of tyre all round to give the car the same handling characteristics front to back- your MB dealer or other forums may help you choose the best model of tyres to buy
