Here's the deal:
When I got the car, the only thing that didn't work on it was the parking
brake. You pulled on the release and it just slid right out of the dash.
Pressing the pedal down applies the parking brake, but it doesn't latch.
I removed the release handle and found that the

Unfortunately I think tire quality can vary significantly between sizes, as
well as manufacturer date, so (insert brand name here) tires with the same
model name can perform at opposite ends of the quality spectrum, if they are

The release cable is buried in the pedal assembly somehow, and even requires a
special tool to remove and install it. There are two bolts that hold the whole

Having spent time in both, I'd say the W211 is a much better car than the
W210 in terms of quality of materials and general feel. I've logged a
large number of miles of W211s over the years and always enjoyed them.

Interesting, I will have to share that. The slave trade got started
here by bringing up Africans from Barbados (and I learned on a visit,
Antigua) as the planters who had set up there found promise in the
Lowcountry. It likely traveled from there.

Another thing to consider is if the tire is a big box store rebrand of a
tire, like a Michelin or Goodrich. I never had issues with bad belts in tires
until I bought brand name tires from a big box retailer.
