wife buys 19 c300 4matic..amg line

I told her not to.....

...we live in NY area w/ occasional bad weather and rough roads. I felt the AMG line wheels/ tires could be an issue...bent wheels, blown sidewalls etc etc . I also felt the ride would be a bit harsher. She is coming from a 16, same car......w/ std wheel/tire set....and I must say it sliced thru snow!


This car has a staggered ! set up..I was shocked. 225/255....y would MB offer such a staggered set up?????.......it aint really a sport sedan...


handsome multi spoke deep gray wheel...white car...black interior...square bottom st wheel.

handsome car.....


any1 want to share how the summer tires handle NY winters on a 4 matic?


thnx

It ain't no sports car ay? False-ish

Anyways 4matic will tear apart with good all seasons. Summers though, will not work out. Even with 4matic. You should get a winter set of WHEELS*

You're going to slide with summers. At least get all seasons that are rated for snow. I recommend Continental DWS06.

Also a few lil mods to that turbo and it'll fly. But that's if you're a tuner or not.

Scrapping those tires will at least give you a better ride and peace of mind.

For future reference, your car is W205. This is the W204 section.
