It can be done, but do not try using patchwork tires on a high
performance car. Gump was good for a few thousand miles on her odd
shoes. The handling was immeasurably improved with new matched wheels
all around.

peter,
do you also have words to say over the 126? i was a bit distressed
twice this last weekend on a great trip from spokane to port
townsend, wa where my '86 300sdl was not handling as usual...it felt
as if the right front was diving into hard turns...but the left side
did well...these turns were at about 80mph on the good freeway off
the top of a pass...
i have two studded tires on the rear that are different than the
front....the tire pressure is correct, and the steering is tight.
perhaps you have generalisations concerning this chasis??
PLEASE do not drive a Mercedes without identical tires on all 4 wheels!
Mercedes strongly cautions against it and I have PROVEN to my
satisfaction that it's dangerous. I doubt that the tire were YOUR
problem. I expect your car is worn/broken.
