New Tires and Need Horn
First of all, we just replaced the tires on our '00 ML320 with 76,000 on it. The old ones were the originals and in need of replacement. We probably pushed them about 5,000 miles beyond what we should have. They were General ST Grabbers and that is what we replaced them with through Tire Rack. Never liked General's before but 70,000 miles is pretty nice.
Next, we need to replace a horn on this vehicle and can't find one in the online stores. Does anyone know of an online parts supplier that would have an OEM horn? Thanks, Jim W. |

I replaced my original ML430 horns with the ML55 horns from this place -
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=213951&chapter=ERI5768&appSectionid=2413&groupid=2436&subgroupid=2436&componentid=2998&make=67&model=M%20class&year=2000&catalogid=2. They sound more like a Mercedes should and not like the Honda sound of the originals. You'll need one High Note and one Low Note horn. An easy DIY plug and play. ![]() |

tires andd horn
i replaced my michilins with noiser Kumho's
they work great at 2/3 the cost,. but noiser. Both my Mercedies horns quit. I replaced them with used Honda motorcycle horns. May as well use less expensive higher quality horns.
