New Rubber?
After a mere 40,000Km (25,000ml) the Contis on the ML350CDI are bald. I have been told to try Cooper CTS by one and Hankook Ventus RH07 by others.
I have also been told to run 40psi rather than the MB recommended 32psi.
Can I have any suggestions or rejections please.

It only snows here once every 20 years, but the bitumen does get wet when it rains...

2014 ML350 BlueTec.
Hello................
I'm pretty sure the rears are supposed to be 38-39 PSI, you can check inside the drivers front door area...........As for tires, the Toyo Proxes St 2's are great SUV tires....as well, Toyo's have won JD Power for quality 7 years in a row.......

The tyre plaque says 39psi for rears & 34 for front with full load (which I have never had) or 32psi f&r unladen.
