Default Re: Tires Goodyear F1's

So, I took the car over to a local Mercedes dealer and they lined her right up, dead on. The reason for this is the wheels are Mercedes wheels. They have a pattern of five holes in the hub (under the cover) that the Mercedes dealer mounts the alignment bells to. Tire noise is diminishing and handling is better. Plus I got a tin of breath mints and a free car wash!
Interesting. What did the MB dealer charge?

And not for the mints.
