Welcome to MBWorld!
With 21s, you'll have much less rubber which makes for a rougher ride, especially on country roads. If your normal drive goes through these rough areas and ride comfort is important, might want to consider swapping to smaller size wheels in the 18-19 range.

thanks Michael
i was also advised that the sport setting sets the camber out, so if i leave it on sport all the time the wheels will take a beading on the inside, is this true? comfort setting is not ideal to use for us, in fact it makes the problem worst, because the suspension is not as tight then (how do i load a picture?)
Regards Jaco
