Wheel alignment
Rears on the C250 wore out at 30k (45k warranty on the tires). 30k off of performance tires (Michelin Pilot Sports V rated) seems reasonable...I think? The car is the sport model so the wheels are staggered and cannot be rotated. When I run my hand over the tread it is smooth with no bumps on the tread blocks. Wore evenly on both sides. The car has a bit over 60k on it and has not had a alignment since I got it in '15 with about 15k.
I have called 3 places. One place specializes in MB/BMW and Porsche. They want $220/$250 for an alignment. Seems pricy since there is not all that much involved.
Second place wants $80. Why is it so cheap? I know there is not much involved but I always question things when things a re cheaper than I expect. I assume most places are digital these days and I can observe the screen as they are doing the alignment.
The dealer wants $250
I am inclined to go with the $80 place. Just not sure if I need it. since the tires seemed to have worn equally.
Anyone know if the car is set up to have negative camber?
Thanks
