Oh they are MO tyre too.They’re run flats. You really don’t want those!
My question was based on the fact that MO (not MOE) spec tyres are usually quiet a soft construction.
MOE tyres, MO problemsOh they are MO tyre too.
Ooo mamma!!Also works in the "drinks" thread...and the "differences" thread...
They are but I don't think if they weren't it would make much difference to the ride comfort.are they MO marked?
My mate who actually does tyre development says if you want a comfortable tyre pick MO ones as Mercedes prioritise ride comfort.They are but I don't think if they weren't it would make much difference to the ride comfort.

Interesting. How about ride quality and comfort? Do you think it is possible the ride comfort on my E43 might improve on the summer tyres when temps are consistently higher?I have, and run winters on all the cars that are not reserved for summer use (Maser and SLC).
You do get a little more road noise, but the handling and extra security is worth it... esp in the country as we have lots of standing water, mud and none-gritted roads. A set last us >4 years, so the extra price is not bad over their lifetime.
markedly! Afew years ago I fitted Pirelli Sottozeros to my wife's BMW 130i and the ride was greatly improved. I used the original rims but many have separate winter rims and tyres for ease of change and most reduce one or two inches so there is more sidewall too. That could save you a small fortune on car changing and give you much more grip sub 7C.Interesting. How about ride quality and comfort?
