**Unofficial Tyre Thread**

[MrRockliffe]

Do you guys think buying from tyres for a Merc not marked MO will make a massive difference to the wear ?

Just had 2 Michelin Pilot Sport 5’s on but somebody said tyres made for Mercedes marked MO would have been better and the wear slower on the inside.

(The last set i had wore very quickly on both inside edges)

I imagine wear will be more on MO tyres. The reason being wear rates typically aren’t top priority for manufacturer tyres.


They’ll be more fussed about things like efficiency, wet braking and wet handling - these will typically come at the cost of wear.


At least with Michelin PS4Ss, manufacturer versions wear quicker than stock ones from the reviews I’ve seen online.
