Thanks for the replies. Living in Georgia (USA) the speed limit seems to be enforced only if you are going 10 or so over. So unless you have an out of state tag it is more of a guide line.

My tire size question comes from the small appearance of the existing tires. The new shocks, struts and bushings seem to have lifted the car by an inch or so and the tires don't "fill" the wheel well very good.

It is more concerning since the existing tires are a size too large.

I currently have 205 65R 15's and am looking at the 205 60r 15's to replace them as this seems to be recommended (by drivers) size. Mercedes recommends the 195 65r 15.

When i torqued the bushings i had the weight of the car on the suspension, BUT while the front was in the air the rear was still on the ground. Could this have shifted the weight toward the rear? Should I find a way to get the entire car level but high enough to get under it with wrenches?
