WEEVIL UPDATE: 1985 Mercedes-Benz W123 200 - I'm Paranoid! Getting 4 NEW Tyres!! | EvoMalaysia.com

Ойын-сауық

SO YEAH folks I'm a little bit paranoid now. Having experienced the KE30 Corolla's tyre blowout recently, I decided to change all four tyres on the Merc W123 to brand new ones. The scary thing is that the KE30's tyres looked fine, even that one that disintegrated looked okay and showed no signs of imminent failure.
I guess it's better to be safe than sorry, especially since this car is about to embark on a very long drive, KL - Krabi and back, but I'll likely do Krabi - Songkhla - Betong - KL for the return leg, solo. This is gonna be fun!
Stay tuned, more to come, next up, the Shakedown! :)

    my dad has a w123, has a lot to repair and now it finally snapped its chain. i have no idea where to start, but this gives me inspiration. i may be in my late 30s but i get more sore neck staring at classics. this is great, chris.

    How's the road noise and comfort level? I'm leaning towards Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 for my W124 as the reviews on comfort and road noise are excellent and it's not very expensive at Rm 210 per piece.

    Going well! Had to get some mechanical stuff done after the Krabi drive, so she's been out of action for a while. I haven't tabulated all the costs, but I reckon it's around +/- rm7k all in so far 😊

    This is why the Toyo bigwigs chose to phase out most of the Silverstone lineup and replace them with entry level Toyo tyres. But the new ones should have no issues since it's being produced on the same line as Toyo in Taiping.
