I'll have to check the FSM pictures, thanks! ALL my w123 '300' cars have done this... Always thought it might be LCAs... Always had alignments done at the dealer.

My 240d, interestingly enough, with the same tires, never seemed to do it.

I do run TP high.

I now have cooper cs4 on the 240d, and have some 15" of the same to put on my chrome 15" bundts. The ones I show here:

Yes, I've been delaying since then. No time.
