Re: [MBZ] 400E

I pulled the ETA some time ago as the car was running very badly and the ETA was likely the culprit. I sent it off to this guy Don Roden who rebuilds them. He called me this morning after he got it and said it was the wrong ETA for the car, a non-ASR ETA. Plus it was all corroded like it had be

Re: [MBZ] 400E Fun -- Costco Michelins

I called Costco to see if they had Michelin tires to fit and were compatible. He could get some in the proper size that were some other name but probably pretty much the same. He asked what car they were for and the conversation got into some whole other dimension about they had to go on the rea

And there are 14" and 15" bundts. A 15" will fit on a brake made for 14" wheels, but a 14" bundt may not fit on a car that came with 15" out of the factory. Bolts always match to the wheel, not the car. Scott Ritchey via Mercedes March 2, 2018 at 7:33 PM As I

Most stores no longer carry the small tires. You can order them online and get an install at the store. No added fees. THere are issues if you are trying to put something on that their computer system says is not right. Then you are not getting them to put tires on. clay 1974 450sl - Fro

Re: [MBZ] 400E Fun -- Costco Michelins

They don’t have stock on the 195/65 15 tires I wanted, either. Not a big deal, as I’m in no hurry, but from what I can tell my CostCo tire place has a week backlog or more. No walk in work from the looks of things. The tires I got for my W210 wagon had to be ordered in, too, but they were on

yes, for 14", you have to order the tars in. It has been that way for several years. Tarrack, discounttardirect and yurotar all have 14" available, but you have to get them shipped in and mounted. Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes March 2, 2018 at 12:36 PM I had t
