Re: [MBZ] 400E Fun -- Costco Michelins

These Michelins now on the SD are Brit-made so not-quite-yurpeen. I’m starting to think the left front suspension has gone wonky. I rebuilt the suspension maybe 4 or 5 years ago and got it aligned. I’m wondering if the rubber bits in the control arms have squeezed or deteriorated or something

I had cooper CS4 on the van, and I thought they slipped belts pretty early, but when I checked the miles on them, they had around 50k. So for the price I guess they were ok. I just wish I could find tars that didn't slip belts all the time. With any tires I had msde in Yurp, other than
