Mercedes Benz A180 W177 Tyres

Fitted as standard on my wife’s a180, not exactly a powerhouse of a car, the traction is really not great and the wet grip is awful. Swapping from my son’s Clio on Michelin cross climate with similar mileage is like night and day. Mercedes is great car spoiled by these awful tyres.

Exemplary tyres!

Wet grip is basically non existant. Front tires will spin under moderate throttle in the wet. AVOID.

Got these tyres as a replacement on the standard bridgestone turanza T005 on the Mercedes A180. The test results seem a bit low, but in real life they are actually pretty great tyres. They really brought up the luxury and comfy ride of the mercedes. The bridgestones actually didn't complement the ride, they were quite hard and very noisy, the Continentals are very quiet and absorbs bumbs very well on the road. Dry and wet grip are slightly above average, nothing special. Good and assuring for day to day commuting, but nothing for sportive driving, these tyres are comfort all the way in my opinion. The low rolling resistance also helped to bring down the fuelconsumption quite a bit.
