Last time I went to Discount Tire they destroyed the threads of three of my C55 wheel sockets and I had to take it into a shop to get fixed on their dime. Ended up getting a decent discount that enabled me to get Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Gonna take it somewhere else next time. What size were the lug bolts for the C55?
Man...that is terrible, yea I found a local non chain garage with good reviews that I’m gonna go to from now on even if I buy the tires from discount. M12 x 1.5 x 40mm for the C55 with the stock wheels 🤙
Bahar My gut says no but it depends on many things, if you are responsible and willing to do what it takes to care for the vehicle then possibly, it is safe and not crazy fast but if you aren’t careful it can get you or others into trouble. It’s also not the most fuel efficient. Varies depending on driver.
Chad Rowley haha I know it’s steep, but if you plan on keeping it for a while you’ll never have to replace them. I’m not a splurge kind of buyer by any means but when you find a quality product that makes a difference it makes it worth it, these and the Sprintbooster are a great example of that.
Thanks again for the video. Not an ML guy bit not an X5 guy either sice i owned a 2009 TT diesel. What a money pit!! Great tip on the titanium lug nuts. I might consider for my C55👍 Good to to hear you have more time comming up to make vids. Glad to know you before you get famous 😁
I can imagine how that could end up being a money pit, no fun.. The titanium lug nuts are one of my favorite things I have done to the C55 and now ML, subtle upgrade to the naked eye but makes a difference in the long run. Not sure if fame is in the cards haha but this channel has become something it seems rather unexpectedly, as long as I'm having fun with it I'll keep it going :) Thank you for the kind words!
You can find the lug stud kit I used here! motorsporthardware.com/?ref=anderzenllc

Do you think 17 inch wheels will clear the front brakes on the ml55?
Easy!
eBay got some good centre caps she looks good 🤘
ROBO K yep 👍 that’s where I got them should be here this week. Thank you!
Do you thing the ml55 is well suited for a young driver in the 20s with one year of experience of driving ?

@@ANDERZENAMG ok thank you for you respond I apreciate it !
Bahar of course! I say if you are confident in driving and caring for the car go for it 💯
@@ANDERZENAMG I think I will buy one I really like this car it's a unicorn especially in Europe
Actualy its very safe and very planted on the road, can easily handle its power but the bigger issue is the maintenance costs
Wow 200 for the lugs? I like the idea. I need new front suspension on my ml55

Sorry mate, i sent a reply instead of a comment. Thanks for the video
Stock size is 285/50 r18
Yep, 255/55/18 has the same overall diameter just not as wide. The ride is excellent on these!
