I've been playing with the review sorting option for the General and the Potenza in 195/65R15, sorting on Mercedes owners, and find that many of the complainers have symptoms consistent with either no rotations, poor alignment, worn out suspension, or under inflation. The rest of the MB owners really like the tires, but many of those are newer cars which almost certainly means larger tires.

Rated at 51psi, I keep them at least 40psi. Hmm, that gives me an idea. I blew them up to 51 last month, maybe I'll regain some snow traction if I drop them back to 40. If you run them on a Mercedes weight car at 30psi it will probably feel like you're driving on flat tires. I sorted the tire rack reviews lowest first, and most of what I see people complaining about could be explained by under inflation. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
