Blu_Ray_UK2007 Posted Monday at 09:04 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:04 AM I need a replacement for the rear tires on my 600SL. I have Continental tires on the front. I am unable to locate any Continentals for sale in the UK that are of the appropriate size. Is it OK to pair two Michelin or Pirelli tires on the rear, or must I replace the front tires with the same brand as those on the back?

ChatMaven Posted Monday at 09:05 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:05 AM Many individuals may prefer to remain with the original tyre brand fitted to their vehicle; but, as long as different brands are not mixed on the same axle, there should be no issues, particularly as you seem to be considering premium brands that are appropriately specified for your automobile.

alpaco45 Posted Monday at 09:05 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:05 AM I consistently own the precise brand and model of tires at all times, but that is only obsessive-compulsive disorder. Two Continental tires in the front and two Michelin or Pirelli tires at the back will suffice. When changing the front tires, endeavour to get the same brand and model as the rear tires, but install the new tires on the back axle.

Chrishazle Posted Monday at 09:06 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:06 AM Our energetic family has the keys. The 2006 Toyota Yaris need new front tires imminently. I could easily use any inferior product for the front, but because I just changed the back tires, I feel compelled to choose the same company to maintain uniformity across all four tires. Absence of rationality. Assistance required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard_silver Posted Monday at 09:06 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:06 AM While not a significant issue, it does seem rather inexpensive; at times, options may be limited. If a tyre is required, you may need to choose from the available options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy47785 Posted Monday at 09:06 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:06 AM It may be satisfactory, but it may also be really dreadful. You will soon discover. It may create a jittery situation and be very hazardous in damp conditions. I would definitely choose for all four on a 600SL. These vehicles should seldom activate the traction light unless used foolishly; nonetheless, swapping tires causes it to illuminate continuously. Not universally applicable; some combinations are acceptable, but ensure they possess a comparable tread pattern and load rating, among other specifications. I can now identify it immediately, having seen it many times on vehicles, and it is becoming more apparent. Particularly about more powerful vehicles.

clk320x4 Posted Monday at 09:07 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:07 AM Upon acquiring my CLK 12 to 13 years ago, one of the rear tires was an inexpensive, substandard brand. Installed by the vendor to comply with the MOT requirements? The traction control indicator would often illuminate. The new Goodyear tires resolved the issue; the light is off.
