whats the difference in these tires size?
my car came with 225 55 17 front and 245 40 17 rear,
time to change them ,and i find out that front should be 225 45 17.at least this the manual and all sites says.
i want to know whats the difference between 225 55 17 to 225 45 17.
any difference in the way i will feel how the car goes?

The rolling circumference of the front tyres is too large. You are approaching triggering the ESP.

I can't comment on the feel but your odometer isn't accurate due to the wrong tire size. I hope you didn't have them on for too long.

W204 AMG PLUS 4MATIC
The Mercedes had built a special version I think in 2009 which had placed tire 235/60R17 at the front, 255/55R17 at the rear.http://paultan.org/2009/06/18/w204-c...edition-model/

Yes - but then the tranny tailshaft sensor output would be calibrated in the system to take this into account. Can be set with the STAR.
