Had the tires on my Mercedes past 20000kms. I bought it only and completely regret it.
The inner thread depth is different to the outer thread. If you see it from outside, it looks like the tire is at end life.
The side walls are very soft. Steering response poor.
Driving on highways in dry conditions above 100km/h is scary.
It looks awful in the car.
In wet conditions, it is super scary. Luckily the Merc has food traction control. It feel like skiing on the ice.
On the positive side, they are very quite and comfortable.
Traction rating on the side wall is BB.
Not suitable for heavy cars. I would never buy Dunlop again.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mercedes Benz CLK 320 Coupe drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I had these fitted on my 2005 CLK 320 with 218 HP. I rotated them left/right every 10,000 kilometers. They lasted me 68,000 kilometers and I was very happy with their dry and wet performance. They endured some nasty potholes without any trouble. Very good tires for $90 each for 225/45R17.
I fitted them in the rear as well and rotated them every 10,000 km. They now have 52,000 km and they need replacement. Same performance. They cost $100 each for 245/40R17.
If they are in your budget, definitely buy them!

Driven quite happily on these for 10 months. The review is based on their cost and value for money. Driven sensibly these are spot on. Still plenty of tread left. Car is a 3 liter diesel remapped to 290 bhp with 463 torque. Types always feel quite safe. Cheap and cheerful I would have no problem buying these again.
Have put 2 nokian z lines on the front to replace conti sport 3's on my clk 320 cdi sport, only done a few hundred miles, so early days but very impressed to date, they really are as the other reviews on here say about them, quiet, ride well, very stable, a considerable improvement on the conti 3's, have tried pirelli and michelin in the past, these are better to date, if they see a sensible mileage too then highly recommended
Wery good grip on snow and ice, bought a car with Dunlop Garspic DS2 couldnt start moving without drifting, after week bought Alpin, difference wery big.
after 10000 km no signs of heavy usage. still more than 7mm. Very quit and stabile even on big speed and in curves. recomend it to anyone.

Recently replaced the (dealer supplied) Pirelli P6000's with these even though the Pirellis were in good condition as they are a terrible premium tire. The Dunlops however are excellent. The Traction control light that was formerly almost always lit when pulling out at junctions slowly is a rare sight now with spirited driving. The tires give progressively on the limit and give great feel, even with the mediocre steering of the CLK. I paid an excellent price for these tires, cheaper than any other up to date rated premium UHP tire and I am very happy.
