- Driving Conditions:Mixed Dry Rain

The tire identified is original equipment on the Mercedes and hard to find when needed. The people at Discount Tire have always worked with me and have always been able to order the tire. I will continue to do business with them because they have always treated me right.

These tires came on my 2009 C300 4matic. They are very expensive and poor quality. Driving normally they will wear fast. I am replacing these with Michelin's since the rear tires are completely shot. I had the sidewall split on the front passenger tire as well. For the money these are really bad tires.
