Hi,
Over the past year I have just had the luxury of having a 2015 65' plate C250 AMG Line Premium Plus which was a lovely car. Now the proud owner of a 2008 A209 280 Sport which is going well so far (despite the frequent trips to the petrol station but that might be down to the sound of the V6 and my right foot)
My question is about the W205 though, at the rear it had 245/40/18 Continental Sport Contact 5 tyres. When I handed the car back it had only done just over 9,000 miles and the rear tyres were on the verge of legal in the centre.
I had only ever inflated them to the recommended 250kPa and would have expected to get more thank 9k out of them. I never drove it particularly hard, occassionally a little spirited maybe. The outsides of the tyres seemed ok suggesting over inflation but I only ever did it to the manufacturers specification.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've paid £230 for the tyres to be replaced in order to sign off the return but am thinking of writing a letter of complaint.
Many thanks in advance.
Richard
