Piston Slap: Time to Retire Those Tires?
TTAC commenter Felix Hoenikker writes:
Sajeev,
I am in the process of replacing at least two tires on my ’74 Mercedes 450SL. The current tires are P205/70R14 Bridgestone RE 900 performance tires. They came with the car when I bought it privately in the summer of 2001.
I’ve been slowly — and I mean slowly — restoring the SL, and have only driven it about 10,000 miles since taking ownership.
Recently, I discovered the front left tire is wearing down much faster than the other three.
