MB and myself monitor threads like this not to see if we have done something right but to see if we have done something wrong.
Reading the thread i want to clearly say i have every respect for the MB build and recently nearly bought one for my disabled wife only to be swayed by BMW because of the run-flat tyres.
I deal with a whole range of cars with various problems which is fine until the problem becomes historic at which point we need to find out why? i then have test cars dressed in our solution at our expense and assuming the complaint can be solved i go public for all to use.
Back on topic:
All cars have what's called an "eventual drift" due to the road crown, this is due to the crown deforming the tyres sidewall giving a unsymmetrical conical effect. The problem i have is the actual permitted resistance of the drift and severity of the crown datum is not released to the public. This means owners cannot argue, prove or deny a complaint is outside of manufacturers tolerance, this annoys me to the max.
