2017 GLS550 142k Service

I wonder if the 420 vs. 560 is proportional. According to Walmart these have a 50k treadwear - usually UHP's have no treadwear warranty

[rpaoness]

So it is $1.1k vs. $1.42k...

[rpaoness]

So a 33% change in treadwear for 420 vs. 560, and a 29% change in price... Sheesh.

I don't trust Walmart's SKU. Unless you can prove that is a M+S MO tread then it's not the same. What's the next cheapest price for these? Then compare that to the DWS06+.

I’m thinking even without the Walmart weirdness of it’s about the same $/mile due to improved life, then why not buy the better snow performance just in case. It only gets worse if I buy from a more reputable listing. The Walmart one is Walmart marketplace from priority tire, not native Walmart. What do you think about rotors? I’m leaning toward Raybestos.

[rpaoness]

Actually - I can’t think of a time I’ve had warped/pulsing rear rotors.

From my local shop.

Called about an alignment at MB New London. $197.

Their tire sales are relatively straightforward and pricing available on line. With $200 rebate they're only like $200 high...

Checked the Benz Warwick website, and with $200 rebate, they're the same price as tire rack and include mounting and balancing. Since I can get the alignment done at the same time, I'm setting up an appointment with them Friday for all of it.

Ignore the Wed date/time....

They also have a $25 off alignment coupon:
