Be careful when buying low profile tires like these. I ran into the same situation when I put some staggered SLK320 wheels on the SL500.
Few of the mainstream tire manufacturers offer these tires, and out of the ones that do, a number of their offerings are soft compounds and as a result won’t have any sort of tread wear warranty. At over $1100/set, with Mrs. Dan’s binary throttle control driving technique, I was replacing them every 18 months. Not acceptable. When I moved to a standard compound with a mileage warranty, the wear dropped precipitously. In fact, the set on the back of the car was still on it when I sold it, and they had upwards of 30k on the clock with lots of tread depth left. -D > On Jul 22, 2022, at 11:01 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Interesting.
