Asking about tire brands on MB models
Hello guys,
can someone tell me the brand of the tires that are fitted on all Mercedes-Benz models (are the same tire brands used for all classes? Does the tire brand for Mercedes-Benz models in USA differ from the tire brand installed here in Europe? ) The only thing I know is that the SLK 55 AMG is installed with Pirelli Pzero Rosso! One last thing...what is the advantage of low profile tires? Are they good for uneven roads?
Thanks guys

Michelin Continental Pirelli
From what you just said, these seems to be the most popular tire brands used on Mercedes-Benz models. Aren`t there any German brand of tires??? I mean why do they use foreign tires rather than German ??
Michelin is French. Continental I don`t know , and Pirelli Italian I think.
