  1. You may operate your tires on the new rims without any issues.
  2. Thank you very much! I will certainly refrain from purchasing those Chinese tires. I do not desire conventional 'tank slappers'!
  3. I am presently utilising Bridgestone tires on my 2016 SLK 300 AMG Sport. They are satisfactory. Relatively quiet and notably comfortable. Nonetheless, I remain unconvinced by their grip levels, especially under wet or greasy road conditions. I recently experienced a failure of the NSF wheel speed sensor, which disabled the ABS, stability control, and several other unexpected functions, including an alert to reduce speed when I was parked and attempting to raise the roof. Had to deactivate the engine, re-engage the ignition and raise the roof using the batteries. Following a period of rainfall, I exited a roundabout at 3 o'clock and was perhaps somewhat overzealous with the accelerator. An spectacular 'tank slapper' occurred, which I barely managed to control. No. 2 Son (GR Yaris) advocates for Michelin Pilot Sports; nonetheless, what suggestions do you have for optimising grip? As a lifetime automotive enthusiast, I currently drive minimal mileage, approximately 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. All feedback is appreciated.
  4. My MY2020 exhibited a leak of around 20cm from the driver's side A-pillar. Best of luck with the repairs. Some minor windshield installers will reinstall the original screen. The larger corporations will just replace the whole system.
  5. The 52a code is only an informational code designed to activate at a certain distance; it does not indicate a malfunction with the DPF. Utilize diagnostics to inform the vehicle about the new DPF installation and then erase the code. The 4afb refers to the brake vacuum pressure sensor, used in the stop-start system. I presume you are experiencing an issue with the stop-start mechanism? A prevalent issue necessitating the replacement of the sensor on the servo. I resolved the issue with the 9520 steering angle sensor on my previous E92 by disassembling the top steering column to clean the optical ring, followed by recalibrating the angle sensor.
  6. Have you inspected the pollen filter for dirt or obstruction?
  7. A multitude of components is compatible with diverse models. I often see instances where Aston components priced at hundreds of pounds are identical to Ford parts that cost £15. Manufacturers do not produce these components; they design in accordance with market availability. Consider bulbs, O-rings, oil filters, and, of course, brake pads. At the age of 18, I purchased brake pads for my 3.0 litre Capri. The cost was £25. The pads were same for both the 2-liter and the 1.6-liter models. However, priced at £20 and £12, respectively. Identical pads, identical box, different number; they were also compatible with Granada and Cortina models. Another client, a self-employed mechanic, found amusement in my uninformed purchase.
