Cruise Control and Tire Size
I would like to increase the back tires to 275 (stock rims) on my 03'.
Has anyone had any problems with there cruise control after you changed the tire size?
I changed the tire size on my 2000 CLK 430 and the cruise control wouldn't work after I exceeded 70 mph.
Thanking you in advance for your help.

It'll be pretty much the same deal with this as well. The bigger difference in total diameter from front to rear, the lower the speed is where you cruise control stops working. If you went only 10 mm's wider, with the same aspect ratio, most of the time you probably won't tell the difference. unless maybe you had bald tires up front and new ones in the back. But I don't think the advantages of going 10 mm's wider would be worth it, IMO.
