Mercedes Benz C220 cdi Tyres

I've bought a Mercedes benz c22, I was worried about the winter as I heard so many things about the car in the snow, I purchased a full set of Goodyear ultra grips from camskill tyres, and got them fitted seperately, today, I set of for work, early, the snow was coming down, there was about and inch of snow, the conditions were quite hazardous, it became. Apparent to me that the control of the car excercised was excellent, I didn't feel any slip whatsoever, I felt in total control of my car, also I was passing many other cars, that I consider good in the snow, pulled in at the side of the road, I would highly reccomend these tyres, try them, they are a good investment

I have reviewed these tyres at various mileages my last one being in October 2011 after having done 10K as these are fitted to the rears.

They are still on the rears and have now done 17k and are down to 5mm all round and wearing pretty evenly. The grip levels over time and getting used to the tyres I would say are good in the dry however on a few fast corners the ESP does kick in and they can slide a little. In the wet they have been again good but when pushed to the limit the ESP is on overtime and they do slide around a lot more but you will know when they are about to let go.

In terms of comfort doing a 74 mile commute 3-4 times a week on mixed motorway and country lanes they are very comfortable and excellent cruising tyre and absorb the bumps well, they are very quiet also. I am anticipating about 25K before they are down to the wear markers.


Overall yes id buy them again as price is very reasonable.

I've just done 20,000 miles on these tyres without a hitch so surprised to read these reviews.
