Mercedes C-Class : Tyre & wheel upgrade thread

Mugen_Power · 19th February 2008, 01:12

Guys,

When we bought C220 Cdi it came with Goodyear tyres, after 25000 we changed it with Bridgestone Potenza G3 225/50R16.( i am not sure about profile right now)

Its time to change tyres so which brand and size should i go for ?

Mugen.

GTO is happy with his current set.I think they are Michelin PP2s.

ecclipse78 · 19th February 2008, 05:11

I'd second that.

PP2's would be good choice. Provide the perfect balance between ride comfort and handling.

currently using bridgestone MY01's on our company c220cdi.. am pretty happy with it..

On Iraghava's recommendation, I went ahead with PP2's. Theres been no looking back, man. Great level of grip (better than Eagle F1's) and controlled road noise.

pp2 = Michlin pilot preceda 2 ?

@ Gto, Which size do you have currently ? 225/50ZR16 ? For how much you bought it and when ?

How is Yokohama Avs Sport ?

Mugen_Power · 19th February 2008, 19:09

Right now It is Bridgestone Potenza G3 215/55R16.

iraghava · 19th February 2008, 20:19

Yes, PP2 = Michelin Pilot Preceda 2.

And the AVS Sports have been discontinued.

Well, slight problem. I can't for the life of me remember the stock size on the C-Class!

Can anyone confirm whether it's 205/60 R16 or 205/65 R16?

AFAIK Stock size is 205/60 R16 and i have 215/55 R16.

kpzen · 20th February 2008, 00:11

Yes the stock size is 205/60-16.

Vishal, get the PP2s. AVS sport is out of production.

Mugen_Power · 20th February 2008, 00:17

Today talked with tyre dealer he told me that he doesnt have PP2 and he gave me prize of Bridgestone G3 215/55 for 8200.

so let me talk with another tyre dealer tomorrow.

Btw how is comfort in pp2 ? or is it sport tyres ?

iraghava · 20th February 2008, 00:27

GIII for that price is sheer stupidity. You would get PP2 for that price easily. And yes, PP2 is a performance tyre.
