The factory designed the car that way for a reason. Ralph W wrote:
I'm looking for some more input on the '90 300D. Some of you may recall me whining about the 16" Kuhmo tires I had on this car. They have since been replaced with a set of Michelin MXV 215/60's. Same issue as with the Kuhmos. Car is all over the road and tracks every little depression. The W124 comes standard with 15" tires so I went back to the original wheels this weekend which have Michilin Pilot Alpine 195/65's on them. Handling of the vehicle is vastly improved to the point where I would say the car has no suspension issues. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms with lower profile 16" tires on a W124? I'm thinking I should just sell the 16" wheels and go back to the old 15" pancakes for good, or is this an early indication that my suspension really needs some work. Thoughts or comments? Ralph W.
