Hello all,
Does anyone else find the MO Continental Sport tyres create terrible road noise once they are a few thousand miles old?
My E320 cdi Sport was fitted with these tyres from new and once the first set were down to around 3mm the road noise was so bad I took it to the dealer as I thought a wheel bearing was failing, they assured me it was the tyres (I have to say I thought they were fobbing me off). Anyway having changed the tyres the car was back to its silent best. The second set of fronts are now down to around 4-5mm and I can already hear the difference in sound intrusion.
Has anyone experienced this? I don't want to have to change the tryes when they have 3-4mm of life left, but it drives me nuts......I'm a real fuss pot for my car not having sqeeks/rattles or road noise, hence buying a Merc.
