Max -----Original Message----- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Curt Raymond Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 9:30 PM To: Diesel List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Winter tires/wheels I'm with Dave on that, in fact my 240D is due for 2 new tires since I didn't get an alignment done after changing UCAs last fall (stupid) and I'm torn as to keeping the rears and getting a generic set of snows for the front or replacing all 4. If I replace all 4 I'll go back to 185/whatever/14 that I had before, right now its got 195/whatever/14 except for the spare which is a 205/whatever/14... I let a slick tire salesman talk me into wider tires on my Dakota once, NEVER AGAIN. With its v8 that thing was tricky in snow anyway, with the wider tires it was a disaster in 2wd and only acceptable in 4wd. -Curt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
