I once suspected whether the shock absorption was broken. After a long time of research, I felt that the problem should be the original tires. Since then, I have the idea of replacing the original tires, but I have always been confused and felt a bit wasteful. The original tires have not been used for 10,000 kilometers, so I wondered if there was any other way to improve it. I also read the strict version of the recommendation to reduce the tire pressure to 2.0. It did improve a lot after reducing the tire pressure. The car feels softer when driving, but the steering wheel is also heavy, and it feels okay. I thought I’d just drive it like this, and I’d probably change it after driving for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Driving on the viaduct after rain two days ago, at a speed of 30 to 40, the rear wheel actually slipped when the entrance road crossed the seam (30 cm wide steel plate road), commonly known as shaking the butt. There were also a few times when I went to the warehouse. As long as there was a little water on the road, I definitely had to slip sideways. Fortunately, the speed was not fast at that time… As long as there was a little water on the highway, it was easy to float. The previous Passat driving habits were much more intense than the e300L, and these situations have never happened. The grip is really poor, especially the grip and drainage capacity of wetlands.

Considering safety issues, I decided to change the tire. I asked directly at the local Michelin Chijia store for the price. After comparison, the Haoyue 4 that Jingdong ordered independently. The specifications were the same as the original tire. After waiting for the arrival for two days, I went to the original tire this afternoon. The original tire was replaced. The feeling after changing the tire was really improved. The tire of Fatty Mi is much softer. In contrast, Han Tai is really hard. Fatty Mi is not stupid and soft, but also a little resilient. When you turn corners, you can obviously feel that there is less rolling. While it is soft, there is still a certain amount of support. The tire noise is significantly improved compared to Hantai. The same way home is less noisy than in the past. It may be due to the new tires, or it may have psychological effects. Add to it

To summarize: I also did a lot of homework online before buying a tire. I read the saying,”Changing tires is like changing a car”, and I thought it was a bit exaggerated at the time. However, compared with today’s experience, the performance of the tires can indeed greatly affect the driving and driving experience of the whole vehicle. The Hankook tires of the original car are more wear-resistant and economical. They are placed in SUVs or often walking on mountain roads… They may be more suitable where the road conditions are bad, but they are not bad but inappropriate. I think this tire is not suitable for this car, covering up the texture that a car should have at this price! This arrangement of Mercedes-Benz is probably due to the consideration of reducing costs (I guess). Of course, everyone’s usage scenarios and preferences are different. The above are just my personal experience for everyone’s reference. Please give me more advice if there is anything wrong.

Finally, I suggest that friends who are dissatisfied with the suspension or tire noise of this car can start with the tires to improve it.
