After a mere 3 years my tires are absolutely blasted. Yearly alignments, rotation every other oil change, did not slouch re: upkeep.

Now I've found a nail a little close to the sidewall and I think it's time to deal with this. When I bought my 240, she was running 175/70R14 tires. I kept this size and replaced them with Michelin defenders. Thing is, I cannot find a single reference to this size in the archives... Going to file a warranty claim tomorrow and potentially get a new set.

1.) 240D team, what size and make tires are you running?

2.) Thoughts on this size in general?
