Winter tires screw up
Screwed myself royally,have to admit.
After consulting with some Benz technicians,I installed Pirelli Sottozeros 285/40 rear,255/40 front on stock rims (planning to get wider rims with 305 tires for Summer).
Now , they rub both front and rear at every larger movement of the car (bumps,dips,faster cornering or braking).
Technicians are sorry but the problem is mine.
Seems I will end up with brand new Pirellis in a dumpster...

That sucks. Put them on on ebay and get rid of them that way.
