Top Tip, but a block of wood under the loud pedal

I have 265/30/19s on the back on my merc and I get through a set of years every 10K, not to bad you would think but thats every 3 months and the fonrt go at 6 months.

Dread to think how quick they will go on my c63 when I get it friday. :-(

Ha!

A rear tyre on my Laverda Formula 650 lasts 3000kms.... :roll:

Not so much a smooth transistion of power on a thumpy twin cylinder...

Bet the tyres are pricey for your cars though!

Cheers!

Due to the recession I got a very healthy discount from the dealer and a very nice trade in value for my current car which made it more wallet friendly

Hi John ,

Might be worth checking that the tyre is the correct type, even though the size and speed symbols are correct you may need a special compound to cope with the extra horses.

Type compounds are marked on the tyre after the size and type as NO, NO1 or C1, XL etc. it might be worth checking with Alpina first to see if it's one of the above.
