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
I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SIT IN MERCEDES E CLASS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE
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.
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.
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!
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 🤞🏻😣😁
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
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
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.
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 $250 ROTFL.
Not always true. My dealership guarantees lowest price on tires. Not like they have to stock a lot of different brands or sizes.
geoff bob doubt it
Caster camber plates
Is the used C63 headlight full of water on the inside?
Shell Gas Station is my 1 go to station. 2nd is costco . Rest are when on vacation I can't control
Camber doesn’t kill tires as much as alignment does. Did you get alignment? Don’t confuse alignment with camber. Alignment is if the tires are either toed (pointed) in or out. I had a lowered Eclipse GSX and had -2 to -3 degrees of negative camber, but never had any problems with wear with an alignment.
The whole sequence with the music and you playing musical cars in the street and driveway had me cracking up! Thanks for the laughs man! Keep up the good work
Low profile tires will continue to cause issues. They look nice but are no go anywhere. You haven't had those tires that long for there to be hardly any tread remaining. How many miles do you have on those tires?
wow service B is for brutal so they basically take 700$ 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.
When he drives AMG in the rain,, he remembers HYDRALOCK 9:36 😂😂😂😂😂
*Please remove the fuel run stickers asap..*
Still loving the AMG and all her faults.
Dude, you are driving and recording your phone? That's moronic.
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 😂😂😂
This is like the funniest Vlog you ever uploaded
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lol For the hydro lock comment when it started raining.
The part when you were rearranging your cars at home and the music......omg I was lmao........
Had the exact same problem my bro, Great video !
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’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
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.
Camber doesn't decrease at high speeds on race cars- negative camber is used to increase cornering grip as the contact patch shifts during cornering. Also negative camber alone wouldn't ruin your tires like this. You're likely to have a toe problem as well. Imagine your tires contacting the road like a angle grinder on a piece of steel.
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
Has nothing to do with camber. It’s the toe that ate up your tires from not getting an alignment after lowering. Your camber is minimal.
Its normal to do some alignement after lowering a car so really crappy that your tires wear so fast.
The problem with the tires is more of a Toe issue than camber. Camber is still a part though.
The best part of the video was when you had to rearrange all the cars. Lol that was something else
😂🖒🖒🖒
Mercedes service b
Be 4 leave customers broke
Hi
Great choice on the wheels on the C63. Simply gorgeous!
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.
Great video Mike, thanks for bringing back the vlogs.
Looks like we are driving the AMG back in the rain..........hydrolock 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The best moment for an alignment is when you get new tyres. If you will drive the car around these new tyres will wear a bit, not much, but enough for your alignment not to be perfect when you will actually get to do it. So do it yesterday.
Agreed with your idea man. Thanks for sharing
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
Once i clicked on your video my mood became much better! Thanks for posting AutoVlog
I love your channel. The music while you were moving the cars around had me lmbo!
it was fun watching u move the cars around haha
Awesome Video Mike!!
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!
That happens when you have semi professionals with cheap materials "tune" a car. They fuck it up. But well, let's do it the American way: as long as it looks good, you are fine. Who cares if it does not work ?!
Interiour of the E-Class is lit.
Seriously, you should inspect your car yourself at least once a month....particularly if you are running tuned and/or modded. Things like this can be found before they leave you stranded. It is also helpful to inform you how well your car takes to being modded or tuned. I run my cars stock and they get a 10-20 minute inspection once a month even though they are under warranty. You have 20 minutes to spare once a month? In your case may 40 to 80 minutes a month.
Also, get your suspension issued sorted out ASAP unless you enjoy throwing money away. Don't wait.
Don't sacrifice the oem alignment for a few tyres or wheels. You are definitely going to agree with me if you do so which I really hope you don't.
Just increase the profile. If you love the wheels get ones that are smaller in diameter/circumference/radius. Come back to the oem tyre "profile". Or at max decrease by 5 all around.
👍
Think.
Do.
IMO toe out is the problem not the camber. Every time you work with suspension or steering the car has to be re-aligned. I do not recall who did the lowering job but….. if they did not do or recommend to do alignment it is a "not so professional" shop.
Some people don’t like doing the car shuffle... for some reason I’ve always enjoyed doing it 😂
I'm just wondering who chooses the cars for your reviews?
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.
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.
Hey buddy, your front I bet tires should not look like that. My c350 is slammed with hella camber and I have never shredded my tires like I see on yours. Check your air pressure because I have a feeling they are way under inflated
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!
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!
seeing you run inside the garage to pull out the hooptie gave me a good laugh
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
👍🏻🙏
Please take those dame fuel run stickers off already. We are tired of seeing them
Do people always leave such mess when they got their cars serviced? I drop my car spotless at the shop, in and out. Can't imagine leaving my stuff when there are random strangers working on it.
Why do people even lower it? You get more road noise, High risk of scratches, and it doesn't even look Good.
Because he thinks he is 15 I know it rides like shit
Aside from the look, which is hit or miss for some people, I personally like it; but it also lowers the center of gravity. Which generally means better, flatter handling.
Sure its great round a race track but on normal roads mods like lowering the suspension and low profile tyres are not good for normal road use. Uncomfortable on the road and very rickety feeling easier to buckle wheels and blow out tyres on potholes and of course these things are incredibly expensive when they do break.
Because he has a big head. His brain(or lack of) is closer to the road
better fuel economy, but the most common is looks or cornering
The camber isn’t that drastic,you sure it wasn’t also rubbing on the insides?
That tires bill alone costs more than I paid for my whole car with 4 new tires, maintenance and flat tire fix. I've had my car for almost a year now as well and only repair was patching a tire due to a sharp rock and $30 for oil change. I've almost put 20k miles on it, still going strong driving 60 miles a day.
20k in one year that's real high
@@andrewschulzsd I'm a delivery man so yeah miles add up quick, I normally change the oil every 3 to 5k depending on the age of the vehicle. Money has been really tight for a while and can only afford to change it every 10k. The car had about 180k when I bought it and almost has 200k on it now so I'll be doing another oil change very soon. Not suprising, it's a Toyota, best choice I ever made, it's saved me in repairs and fuel. Initially I only paid 750 for the car, I never liked Toyota before but if you need something dependable and getting the most out of your money, it's the way to go.
Reconsider not getting the alignment. Get It as soon as possible.
Same thing happened to me when I upgraded my wheels and didn't get an alignment. Now, as soon as I swap out wheels I get an alignment. Lesson learned...
This was a really cool and funny video! Love the edditing!
Whenever you lower a vehicle an alignment doesn't really do much to fix that. You'll need aftermarket camber plates to fix them problem that your having.
I don't thing this is a "too low" issue. I quess the alignement wasn't done right from the start
Get it aligned while the front tyres are new, no good once they are worn
Hey Mike not a hater, but I heard of a mechanic who's been doing it for 40 years and says Mercedes are absolute junk after about 5 years they start to have a lot of electrical problems excetera excetera excetera what are you going to do when you get to the five-year point just wondering thanks Mark
You ruined that car I know it rides like shit for sure
Love your channel bro
The only reason why i don't like the Lincoln MKT, I've always thought it looked like a Hurst it kinda creeps me out 😂
Love your volgs
New video idea: What happens when I sit on the shifter with no lube?
Hey Mike,Camber plates/shims cheap as chips and easy 2 fit,a shame that you weren't adviced with regards 2 this issue when you had your suspension done.A bit of shitter when you look at probably 95% of the width of the tyre still has awesome tread depth on it especially when they are sooooo expensive🤬.Really surprised that you could not feel that through the steering.(shit happens!)✌🏻
Nothing like getting that 20 year old Dodge key back in your hand to unlock your 90 grand Mercedes
just a little camber shouldn't wear a tire like that maybe the toe alignment is off but with it wearing just on the edge like that it looks like it's rubbing somewhere
Not sure about your local Mercedes service center but the ones around me won't do an alignment unless the tires are new.
maybe it's time to stop financing cars for 10 years and get a house dude. sure an amg is sweet. a raptor his awesome. buying a leased vehicle you fell in love with so you have money to mod it is cool. but what's cooler is having structure. buy a home. unlike your car, a house doesnt depreciate if you mod it.
I recently got a house with a three-car garage. It's like a dream come true to have indoor parking for my daily drivers, my weekend car, and my motorcycle.
futureace One damn you’re jealous lmao
That car has been a real hot mess since you got it. I'm just glad it's making you money, because otherwise you couldn't afford it.
that's probably the toe out that what's really eat the inside of tires from lowering the car with out alignment
I have to do the same for my cars! Loved the vid good to know I'm not alone in that struggle
She'll sit nice & clean after that camber gets right.
Curbed my new black powder coated alloy 😰 Took all paint off all the way round.Lucky you didn’t get a blow out my friend
I’m not first but at least I’m here!
By the time you see a problem caused by you front camber setting it will be too late to stop. The tyre would not be round any more and you can not correct it by adjusting the camber then. It will be too late but I am sure you knew that. Don't be lazy, go have it adjusted pronto.
Wouter Stassen totally agree. By the time you notice wear it will be too late.
9:35 "Hydrolock" HAHAHAHAHA!
Your car is amazing!!
