Concerning the issue of tyre wear.

[MDMH757]

Greetings,

My 2006 CLS has been experiencing excessive tyre wear for some years now, particularly on the back tyres due to its rear-wheel drive configuration. Most of my tyres are only surviving between 3000 and 8000 km. I have tried Michelin tyres as well as cheaper types, but regardless of the name, they always seem to deteriorate rapidly. I have a pair of inexpensive tyres on the front of my vehicle, and they have remained functional for over two years. The car is mostly driven on the motorway and I previously had a wheel alignment done, but it did not resolve the problem of wear.

We would much welcome any responses. The automobile is incurring exorbitant expenses on tyres.

Is the wear on the tyres consistent over the full width?

[MDMH757]

The wear on the passenger side is distributed uniformly, whereas the wear on the driver's side is more pronounced on the inner part.

Based on my understanding, the behaviour you described seems typical for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, it is possible that your car's performance, with its substantial torque, may be influenced by your driving style.

Take slow and deliberate breaths, savour the inhalation of the smoke, and refrain from any concerns, instead focusing on experiencing happiness.

Eliminate, one of the most poorly designed automobiles in terms of geometry.

For your next set of rear tyres, consider using Nexen. They are known for their durability and long-lasting performance.

Consult with an individual who has extensive knowledge of automotive geometry, rather than relying on someone who just has access to equipment and a manual of manufacturer specifications.I am certain that there will be a somebody inside the Mercedes-Benz community who will come highly recommended by someone. In the ALFA community, the esteemed Peter Cambridge, who has since passed away, was highly regarded. Several ALFA models, like as the Brera and 159, have impressive handling capabilities relative to their weight. However, they have a tendency to wear out tyres quickly, particularly on the inner side of the front tyres. This is mostly due to excessive toe-out alignment from the factory, which cannot be adjusted for camber unless camber bolts are used. He would meticulously modify the ALFA specifications by making subtle adjustments to the factory settings during a thorough 4-wheel alignment and tyre pressure calibration. The result was a vehicle that exhibited superior handling, surpassing the performance of the original factory settings. Additionally, this modification ensured that the tyres wore uniformly throughout the whole tread, leading to increased longevity. but I did not personally use his services, he was kind enough to publicly share his results. I managed to locate a nearby establishment to do the task, but many others were only willing to restore the device to its original factory settings. It seems they were concerned about potential legal repercussions if anything were to go wrong. Fortunately, I discovered a suitable company that was not too far to carry out the necessary job.

Hello, I own a C207E400.The vehicle was originally equipped with Conti 5p tyres from the factory, but had internal and exterior tyre damage on the rear despite having a relatively low mileage.

I changed to Goodyear Ass 5 tyres and saw significant overall improvement. However, I encountered a pothole which caused the back tyre to burst.

The wear on the front tyres from both tyre providers was adequate.

I had to install an inexpensive Chinese tyre in order to return home. Currently, it is quite difficult to get 255/30/19 tyres from Goodyear.

Most wider rear wheel tyres typically experience wear in the central region.

I often get my car's wheel alignment checked, but it may be challenging to locate a provider that can do the task accurately.

The threadstarter should consider purchasing adjustable rear camber arms. These aftermarket components provide a better degree of fine-tuning for your car's settings compared to the original specifications.
Additionally, you may consider using adjustable rear toe-in arms to achieve complete adjustability.
Ebay offers a wide range of items for sale, including both low-quality merchandise and high-quality products.

I may consider trying them in the future, but I am hesitant about spending more money on tyres as I do not see any more mileage compared to cheaper tyres.

[MDMH757]

While it may seem like a reasonable suggestion, I have found that with all the previous cars I have had, whether they were front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, I typically get or am getting 15-30k miles out of the tyres. However, I suspect that rear-wheel drive vehicles tend to experience more wear and tear.
