2016 GLC 300
Follow up: I picked up the GLC yesterday after the dealer installed a set of Conti CrossContact LX Sport tires. I am amazed at the difference, I cannot believe how much smoother the car rides. We didnt even realize how bad those Pirellis were until now. I thought I would only feel the difference at highway speeds but the difference is felt everywhere! I will no longer consider Pirelli when shopping for tires.
What about road noise...? Especially vs stock, which I think are pretty quiet, altho wear rather fast it appears...
thx

In Pennsylvania a tire that has two adjacent treads with less than 2/32-inch tread remaining at any point, or a tire that is worn so that the tread wear indicators contact the road in any two adjacent grooves will not pass the annual safety inspection.
At 16K miles with tires properly inflated throughout, my 18" Pirellis are probably only 5K miles from failing the state safety inspection. Is it the tire manufacturer or that the tires are RFTs? I'm considering going back to Michelins even if I have to use non-RFTs.
