Just a quick update. The Firestones have worn in very well and dealt much better than expected with all the snow and ice. The tyres have become quieter as they are wearing but im sure as they get older the noise will start up again. The traction control light does not come on when accelerating thankfully and the grip is still very good in both wet and dry. It seems the rear tyres are wearing faster than the fronts but as my car is RWD, this can happen so i'm not overly concerned. Overall im much happier now and would definately reccomend the Firestones, so much so that im fitting a set to the Mrs' car very soon.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mercedes Benz C200 W202 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Replaced all four tyres as I knew the winter was fast upon us. Dry grip is excellent, great on the Motorways and A-roads. On B-roads i have found them to not respond as well as i would like. Its as if the are suprised by the bumps, this may be due to my soft suspension and its not a massive issue. Grip in the wet is not brilliant, its good but there have been times where the Traction Control light has flashed a couple of times under quite light acceleration. These are not snow or ice tyres, they cope but you have to take it easy as with most summer tyres. The big Merc sits superb on these, very comfortable tyres and suit the car well, they are a tad noisy though but not so that its overpowering. Overall i'm happy with the Firestones, a good balance between price and quality. Must admit that the Bridgestones they replaced were a better tyre all round but I would reccomend these to others, just after i reccomended the Bridgestones.
Superb on the big Merc. Wear rate on these cars are low anyway but the P6000's have done superb and still have 2.7mm left to go. Dry and wet grip is superb, road noise is low and cornering is excellent.
