Luke, tirerack lists 185/65/15 as the original equipment for 1985 190 D. However, my Owner's Manual lists 175/70/14 as the proper tire (5JX14H2 rims). Why the discrepancy?<br> Purely an academic question-my 195/60/15 Yoks (Avid T4)work great. I'm just curious.<br>

^Thanx, Luke. That makes sense. I didn't catch on because 84 - 85 190D are supposed to be identical.

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    In my 2012 S65 I hit a big pothole and blew out my left front sidewall (sounded like an explosion from inside the car). I replaced the tire, and a couple thousand miles later I noticed significant wear on the inside edges of both front tires. I took it in to the dealer for an alignment and the...

  5. Front brake pads wear and tear question

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    I bought an A-class automatic 10 months ago. Since then I have driven 22K km of which I’d say 85% of this was straight motorway and minimal breaking. I’ve just brought my car in for a service to the garage I bought it from and they told me that after 10 months, my brakes are worn to 90% with...
