I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SIT IN MERCEDES E CLASS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE
Woah big fella, make sure you're not rubbing the strut or something else with the aftermarket size. that's a bit excessive to be camber.
I was thinking the same thing. Or, he has too much toe out. That will eat the inside of tires very fast and any driving will just eat the new tires.
$1200 for 2 tires mounted and balanced? Sounds like a rip.
It is
That not a rip, that's rape.
That includes the 600 and some odd dollar cost of the group b service he had done also.. so really, it's about 600 bucks for the front tires.. that's not bad
The ENTIRE CAR is a RIP. This car has been in the shop more than my 10yr old car pathetic. I don't care how much money I can make from videos at some point it will just become a burden. Why would I want my $90k car to be in the shop every other month. If not monthly... But tires are expensive, one tire for my car is a little more than $600 and that is not on a lowered vehicle.
you can get 2 nice wheels and tires for that
Love your videos bro! Keep up the amazing work. The car part of this vlog where your moving all the cars was so damn funny 😂😂😂
Maaaan when you showed the tire with the belts showing I damn near had a heart attack because I KNOW those tires are expensive. I throw fits when my used tires go through that smh. But I’m glad you’re safe bro stay up! Can’t wait for that MKT review
The whole sequence with the music and you playing musical cars in the street and driveway had me cracking up! Thanks for the laughs man! Keep up the good work
Take the chevy prizm to a car show. just for lol's
Lazybro TheNutCase it has a name.. the Hooptie LOL
it'l be the prizm of the show! (im bad at puns)
"Chevy Hooptie" would 've been a catchier name!
Why did you take it to the steelership? You could have taken it to discount tire and save 700 dollars
Maybe because he is just a rich guy!
New car, alot of people for a few years keep up with the stamps etc.
JGO car is in warranty
It depends what kind of tire he bought, I’m sure it cost more than usual
GOOSE UK stamps have nothing to do with front tyres after u lowered and put other rims on it.
Brother... I love your videos, but please stop recording yourself while driving. Distracted driving gives me a lot of anxiety and I hate seeing people put themselves in danger because they wanna text or record while driving. I love you and your videos, but I think it would be SO much better, and safer, if you pick up and always use a holder or whatever. Just something that sticks on your dashboard or window that will record for you so you can keep both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Love the videos, keep them coming. Hope I dont sound like an asshole 🤞🏻😣😁
Not sure if you read these but our W205 C63S’s don’t have camber adjustment. You need to fit K-Mac Camber kits to have any type of adjustment and this would most likely happened even if you weren’t lowered. Mercedes service centre won’t tell you this they just charge us for alignment and new tyres once a year.
Great video Mike, thanks for bringing back the vlogs.
Awesome Video Mike!!
Is the used C63 headlight full of water on the inside?
Wow, Mike... the EXACT same thing happened to the right front tire on one of my cars today! Luckily, I had a brand-new set of tires delivered to my home last week. I didn't plan on putting them on today, though. My plan was to roll on my old tires for at least 3 more weeks.
Hey I have a c205 2017 4matic with 20” wheels. Do u think mine will rub with H&R lowering springs? I’d really appreciate your help as I just got the same springs but debating for my install tomorrow.
Awesome video Mike!
This was a really cool and funny video! Love the edditing!
Looks like a spaceship from the inside 😍 still waiting for you to do a video of what happens if you piss inside a gas tank lol 🤔
What happens IF you lower your car without doing any research.
@@RonnieGreher uhh uhh
This is like the funniest Vlog you ever uploaded
Too low?
TOO LOW!?
There's no such thing as TOO low!!!!
Just kidding. Scraping everything over the smallest pebble is a sign that you're too dirt nasty low...
But that AMG is far from low. Just normal sports car height.. I ride like 3-4cm lower than him no problems.
Hey Mike :) What Wheels and tires you use for c 63 in the winter/snow? Thanks a lot 🤗
Love your channel bro
Love the long vids !
The part when you were rearranging your cars at home and the music......omg I was lmao........
I love your channel. The music while you were moving the cars around had me lmbo!
Lol For the hydro lock comment when it started raining.
Shell Gas Station is my 1 go to station. 2nd is costco . Rest are when on vacation I can't control
Keep up the good work my brother. I own a BMW M2 that I absolutely love and I gotta say that you inspire me to do so just by the way you treat your car. Amazing work man. Thanks and keep them coming.
Thanks bud! Appreciate it!
Awesome video 👍
Had the exact same problem my bro, Great video !
What spring set up you run on that?
Where did you get the blacked out grille Mercedez grille in the front? Did you have it painted?
Love your volgs
it was fun watching u move the cars around haha
BTW - to fix your camber issues, check out the KMAC camber/castor kits. I did that to my AMGs and it really helps get the camber correct on lowered suspension.
Hello , what is the model of wheels ?
Love the vids
great video pretty funny like the way you did that with the cars moving around and stuff
I love your videos , looking great today
So, did you have them change the stance on the AMG to avoid repetition of the same problem?
Once i clicked on your video my mood became much better! Thanks for posting AutoVlog
Agreed with your idea man. Thanks for sharing
Where did you get the front lip ?
Still loving the AMG and all her faults.
When he drives AMG in the rain,, he remembers HYDRALOCK 9:36 😂😂😂😂😂
love the vlog. have a 2017 c63s coupe and had an issue with fast tire wear with daily driving. MB said it was due to bad alignment + the performance tires. Blaming on living in San Francisco where a smoothly paved street is rare. Compared to our compact suv (sq5) with same mileage and nowhere near tire replacement. Keep up the great content!
Hi are mercedes reliable? Intend to grab 2016 mercedes CLA Sooting brake..
I have to do the same for my cars! Loved the vid good to know I'm not alone in that struggle
Recently subscribed and must say so far it’s a pretty cool vlog 🙌🏽🙌🏽 would you be able to do a review on an Audi S5 fastback? Would be cool 😎
Love your channel because just like you, I decided to leave my 9-5 work (8-7 lol) and start doing my own thing and enjoy it.
Life is too short.
I'm just wondering who chooses the cars for your reviews?
Great choice on the wheels on the C63. Simply gorgeous!
Looks like we are driving the AMG back in the rain..........hydrolock 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
wow service B is for brutal so they basically take 700$ for checking everything over...lol they will actually charge the same thing for pretty much all the models not just the c63. When you showed the white c63 was it just me or it looked very boring in white??? the black really makes it look better in my opinion. Some cars look better dark and some dont.
as for your camber pretty much all German cars have camber from stock so lowering it without a camber readjusting tires will get destroyed I'm surprised your rears weren't as bad. I have an M3 with full racing suspension and had to adjust all 4 corners.
Make sure you do all your research for the new tune so nothing happens to your car again from a mod good luck Mike!
I also wanted to add Mike that you need camber plates if they make them. If your car doesn't have camber adjustments you won't be able to fix your issue. so I would start checking for plates if they make some without having to buy a full coilover kit. I hope you see this msg
Doesn't look boring at all. His is just heavily modified so it looks better. Use common sense.
lol wheels and lowering springs don't change the look that much why are you so butt hurt for an opinion...
@@Flexifyy you could share your opinion without "common sense " bit.
my friend you're getting ripped of wen it comes to buying tires at the dealership. never ever buy from a dealership. when you got those rims did you brought those tires at the dealership? if yes, then you got it all wrong. trust me, buying your tires on ebay is a lot cheaper and no its not A bad thing, you can buy the same name bRand of tires for wayyyyy cheaper price than the dealership. those two tires should cost around 250 dollars. then you can get your wheel align somewhere else for cheap, the same align machine still good like the dealership. Mercedes dealership is using the brand Mercedes just to say its gonna cost a lot, but in reality Mercedes is just a car like any other car. you're only buying the brand not the car, just like an iPhone apple , your're only buying the brand not the phone its self.
Yup.... stealership is ridiculous.
dealerships are ripoffs especially a mercedes dealership
brought my car in for an oil change, and watched them drain half of the oil and then put new oil in it
geoff bob I asked them to mount and balance my tires and I think they quoted me around $250 ROTFL.
Not always true. My dealership guarantees lowest price on tires. Not like they have to stock a lot of different brands or sizes.
geoff bob doubt it
What kind of rims are these
*Please remove the fuel run stickers asap..*
how many miles you drove ever since u bought ?
Are your wheels Ag M520? I own a 2010 w204 c300 4M and trying to decide between those and Vossen HF-2 wheels. My car has been with InSkip Mercedes for 30 months and I’ve had to bring it back twice, so 33 months and my car still isn’t completely fixed. Right now I’m driving a 2020 GLE 350 loaner. You’re lucky your c63 AMG was only there a week.
The best part of the video was when you had to rearrange all the cars. Lol that was something else
😂🖒🖒🖒
seeing you run inside the garage to pull out the hooptie gave me a good laugh
Caster camber plates
Before watching this I was writing a comment on instagram asking about the service price ( oil change etc. ) stoped writing to watch the video. Well you answered my question more or less :) keep up the excellent content
👍🏻🙏
I’m still f king confused. After watching the whole f king video, I still don’t f king get how your car being lowered gave you a flat f king tire. Fuck
What are the wheels on your C63
Always have your car aligned when you lower it. My wife found out the same way with her BMW 545i after lowering it and all four tires wore out unevenly in the inside like that. I’ll guarantee that your rear tires will wear out unevenly too if you haven’t had any adjustments done.
Lol, that Vibe is your Prizm's younger cousin, if you didn't know. Made in the same factory, the current Tesla factory. Sister to the Toyota Matrix. Absolutely a great long running dependable car.
Keep up the great work!
Does anyone know the name of the song at 4:05?
Some people don’t like doing the car shuffle... for some reason I’ve always enjoyed doing it 😂
Camber doesn’t kill tires as much as alignment does. Did you get alignment? Don’t confuse alignment with camber. Alignment is if the tires are either toed (pointed) in or out. I had a lowered Eclipse GSX and had -2 to -3 degrees of negative camber, but never had any problems with wear with an alignment.
Hi Mike great video, what a pain you had to get two tyres in sted of one, I suppose the front tyres will always get worn first, best wishes to the rest of the family, and the cat
Low profile tires will continue to cause issues. They look nice but are no go anywhere. You haven't had those tires that long for there to be hardly any tread remaining. How many miles do you have on those tires?
You have to make up your mind, do you want your car setup to run on a track or you do you want your car setup to run in the street. You can't have it both ways. There are potholes speed bumps road imperfections on the streets. With super size rims with skinny tires and a lowered suspension you're asking for trouble. But on the race track you're all good to go.
Replace both tires when you get a blow out on a used tire , spend the money and be safe. The tires should always be evenly worn on front and rear to avoid a problem. Leave the car stock for Pete’s sake ....it’s nice the way they make it from the factory.
Loved the car juggling it made me laugh
That’s why you get it aligned after you lower it. Although that amount of wear on the inner sidewalls only isn’t just because of the camber. I’ve run way more camber than that with zero abnormal wear.
Camber is for cornering. The tire will "flatten-out" putting the full tread on the road when cornering. Check out a NASCAR race; they can run into the same tire issue you did... albeit with much more catastrophic results!
Its not only the camber which would wear out the tires, its also the toe and caster changes. Get an alignment regardless of how you want the car to look, even without wheel or suspension changes you should get alignments regularly. And not just an alignment to make the steering wheel look straight, a proper to spec alignment. Its an AMG not a hoopty.
9:35 "Hydrolock" HAHAHAHAHA!
Would a small wheel spacer fix the problem?
That car better be bringing in thousands of dollars otherwise it seems very expensive to maintain. WTF !
My prince B especially if he even buys his tires there. xD
Not sure about your local Mercedes service center but the ones around me won't do an alignment unless the tires are new.
See if anyone makes adjustable camber plates for your Benz. A good align,ent shop would be able to get the camber back to stock setting once those are installed.
How is your iPhone xs
7:35 is it normal for headlights to steam up like that?
Did you found your GoPro?
The red GLS next to your C63 is beautiful 😍😍
What rims
Does the dealer know your car has been tuned? And if not, would it void your factory warranty if they found out? And great video as always!
Interiour of the E-Class is lit.
Wonder if the black truck could park a front tire on the hood of protoge someday lol
Tire Rack has a wear guarantee on Michelin Pilot Sport also you could try to flip the tires put the bald on the other side
Dude, you are driving and recording your phone? That's moronic.
Would love to see a video on winter storing the AMG Beast
The other day I finally had a chance to test new C Coupe FL 2019 and E coupe. My Hero 5 black was so annoying, terrible mic picking up random sounds of wind instead of my voice. Then I guess it started picking up wrong voice commands while I was talking in the review and it keeps stopping the video and taking burst pictures. That never happened before, but id did fell off as suction cup mount failed me twice! I had to use my iPhone camera while driving which is not safe but it gets better audio and picture. Mike can you do review only with the new iPhone? I do my reviews with iPhone 7 and driving parts with GoPro. P.S. if you guys could give me some internet love on my channel I would appreciate it. :)
I laughed my ass off when you were moving cars around. And I thought I had a tough job with us having 2 cars in our family (my father's and mine)
New video idea: What happens when I sit on the shifter with no lube?
C43 Review?
Nice video :)
