You on 17" now then Dembo?
Kiwi said BS were continuing the rears.
Chilled - I like the sound of the Toyo R1R but think you prefer a soley track based tyre?

But I'm considering a major rethink of my whole car situation at the moment so it all may change.

OH FFS moved from 16 - 17's when the S02 discotinued and bought a full set of tyres had them less that a year and what happens.... dont want to mix tyres 
Bet its just no stock again tho can everyone remember how many times everyone said the S02 was discontinued before it actually did.
Could explain why yours are so slippy MB though, old rubber from stock

It was me that has had the wrong tyre fitted by 2 dealers. They have been receiving and fitting BZ's from Bridgestone opposed to MZ's. Might not be as much of an issue if you had them all round, opposed to a mismatch like I had, but as I understood from Chris Franklins Bridgestone guide, they are designed for a C class Merc and are made of a different compound than the MZ's and on an individual basis have very different characteristics.

Jeeeez, 1st us 16" owners are now running out of tyre options, now the 17" owners are struggling, so even now upgrading tp 17" is no option, is this car ever going to handle as it was intended again???
