I bought these tires as they were recommended from the dealer as MO equipment and the "best you can get" for a MB GL 420 CDI. Well...hopefully this is not the best what I can get as the grip, especially in wet conditions, was really poor. There was a lot of slipping and you felt really unsafe. Nothing wrong with the wear tho - had them for three seasons and the thread was still OK for a season or perhaps even two. Would defintelly not recommend because of wet grip category. Looking for something different to put on in the spring time.

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.
