Thank you Señor LilBenz..............

I took my 3-cell (the MB is in the darkest part of my very dim garage)..........

I learned nothing from all the sidewall hieroglyphics.

So I e-mailed Tire Rack.

Again, I appreciate your response

Look at the model of tire you have and do a simple internet search on that specific tire. Should be really easy I would think.

I read through this thread and didn't see one mention of how this C300 was equipped. Did it have the sports suspension? Remember that's separate from just having the sport grill. Also interesting to see interior complaints coming from a pre-facelift W204 owner...

Mercedes is woefully behind Audi, BMW, Ford, etc. when it comes to some of the interior tech. That is unless you have an S class.

I think we'll see a facelift soon. Some things are nice about the W205. But the designers left me scratching my head on a few things.
Woefully behind is an exaggeration if you ask me. Any specifics you want to point out? Also in terms of design Mercedes has only been lauded for the C-class's interior.
