How come this happens, I am looking at some Dunlop Winter Sport 4D for my 5 series yet from mytyres they range in price from £148 to £180 for what is the same tyre?

Why is this?

Cheers

One has "MO" appended to the name. Whatever that means, it costs an extra £40 to have...!

Different manufacturer item number too.

Perhaps a later year so potentially more life in the tyres?

One says MO at the end of the name. That's probably super important.

They're not the same - different part number and grip ratings.

The more expensive one is marked "MO" which is Mercedes original fitment spec.

If you mouse over the MO it says 'Original equipment for Mercedes'.

Let me know if there's a particularly troubling road you need help crossing on the way home tongue out
