How can I improve the ride quality on my AMG Mercedes?
I own a 2011 Mercedes-Benz C220 CDi AMG Sport estate. I love everything about the car except the ride quality, which is overly firm for our wonderful UK roads. Is there anything I could do to improve it?

Yes. Switch to 16-inch wheels with 205/55 R16 tyres all round. (The correct size might be 205/60 R16s.) Get them from www.tyremen.co.uk
If you are switching now you could go for Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons tyres that will get you through the winter and can be left on all year round.

Neatly styled estate. Very comfortable and refined. Impressive CDI diesels are economical. Good sized useable boot space.
