Morning all,
Having had a mostly very enjoyable few thousand miles with our cls the time has come to change tyres. After wading through a number of reports and a discussion with the helpful local MB garage I have decided to try Goodyear EfficientGrip and since I am having to change all four tyres the effect should be noticeable! Just for interest I was recommended michelin pilots and continental MO to replace the strange combination installed by the previous owner of Avons (front) and Michelin Pilotsport (rear). The Michelins had worn evenly and are being replaced purely due to low tread. The Avons however tell a different story... I had recently noticed a vibration and wheel bearing noise coming from the front . I couldn't understand this because the front tyres seemed practically new with almost maximum tread and no visible damage. Up on the ramp however both front tyres have worn unevenly on the inside which apparently is the cause of the increasing noise inside the car. Just to be certain I have asked for the tracking to be checked at the same time and the test will come when I pick up the car soon. I'd be interested in any feedback others have had with Goodyear EfficientGrips especially CLS owners. Will post an update when I've had a chance to trial the new tyres.
