Luke, problem with Michelin MXV4 plus tires on my C!
Ok so got a flat last week and had to replace the tires. Dealer put on new tires however they are not the same as the ones on the car originally. The 3 center ribs on the original tires go like the \ / \ , the new tires go like this \ \ \ just like in the pictures on tirerack. I can't find the original equipment tire! Is this a problem that I have these variations of the mxv4 plus tires on my car? Also the original tire has a smooth strip of rubber on the sidewall while the new tires don't. Does tirerack sell the OE MB tire?
