Skylaw,
My F/W is very similar

8610_02.0F.04

It has a benz logo on the inside by the mouthpiece but has only Motorola branding on the outside.

4 wheeled car.
Looks like the tires are put on backwards.... may wanna double check to make sure the dirctional tread is facing the right way. Then again, looks like there isn't many much more miles to get out of them either...

Do like I did and get rid of that big Wart on your trubk and replace it with a newer low profile version as I did.. The part number is
B67830080 and it costs about 90 bucks.. They will try to sell you a splitter also but don't buy it you don't need it.. mine has been working fine for almost 2 years without it.

Congrats again on the ride..

Good call; looks like someone rotated the unidirectional tires, without realizing it should have been front to rear, no side rotation.

The S55 has staggered tire sizes. If the tires are directional, there's no rotation possible.

Oops, you are correct. Left and right fronts, and left and right rears, if all 4 are facing the wrong direction.
