Hi we have a 250d.
From reading it appears the 4Matic system is permanent AWD, all time AWD, through multiclutch centre differential.
There is a torque split for 250d of 69% rear and 31% front.
Petrol version is 50% even split in Oz and possibly in U.K. as well for RHD versions?

This may also contribute to tyre shudder, juddering for RHD versions when turning slow on full lock.

I understand in USA torque split is 45% front and 55% rear.

My Question is :

When looking at tyre rotation, what is the recommended method ? For MB 4Matic system.

On the FAQ site in U.K. for Michelin tyres, it has 3 options, front to rear, side to side and a mix of front to rear and Criss cross ?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I recall reading somewhere in the manuals that came with my GLC 4Matic, specifying tire rotation from left front to left rear/right front to right rear.

When I took my GLC in for it's first A check the service manager confirmed the above.

Petrol models in the UK have indeed such a torque split, but unfortunately also have staggered wheel sizes. No rotation possible.
