Brands for Tyres

[Angchug]

My first original set of tires lasted 45,000km. Actually still left 30% but backside itchy.  I changed to P7. 

P7 is very noisy. Maybe I am unlucky. The brand new set of P7 lasted only 8,000km and started to disintegrate. Patches falling out. Just normal driving fetching kid to school. Very disappointed with P7 RFT 225 17"

Saw a G30 530i with Hankook evo tyres also. Factory gave Goodyear F1 AS3 on my e200. So far not bad, noticed a rim protection feature on the tyre, hope I don't ever need to test it.

Is your car W213 E250? Goodyear is a good brand too and it is made in Germany.

Mine is a e200 exclusive.

Same staggered setup as the e250. Yeah, tyres made in Germany, front tyres 246/45/R18 very fresh (1417) rear tyre 275/40/R18 not as fresh (4916). 

First time on Goodyear, previous ride on ps3 and a few sets of csc before that.

Why the rear tyre not as fresh as the frontal ones? Do you mean they look older? Maybe they have been manufactured much earlier?

By the way, is it hard to maintain your nappa leather seats?

Have any one heard of Altenzo tyre. Was recommend by the tyre shop to install. Any review on Altenzo Sport Comforter tyre?

1417 on your tyre means it was manufactured in week 14 of year 2017. Hence 4916 means week 49 of year 2016. They are manufactured about 4 mths apart.
