#7637 of 8166 Tires by markjenn Feb 10, 2005 (6:55 pm)
At 35K, the original Dunlops on my ML320 were shot so I replaced them with Michelin LTX M&S tires on the recommendations of many. These are great tires. Now with 35K miles they look about 1/3 to 1/2 worn. A friend of mine has over 80K on these tires on his Explorer and they are still going.   http://www.michelinman.com/catalog/tires/MichelinLTXMS.html?tiret- ype=6&tire=0   - Mark Replies to this message: hifk1 (Feb 11, 2005 11:22 am)

Replying to: cedest1 (Jan 31, 2005 6:15 pm) Hi, I'm desperate for some information on the NEW ML in diesel. All US dealers I've talked to are telling me, they're only taking orders for the V8 and a V6 and no diesel. However, i know that the european diesel versions will be made at the Alabama plant as well (for Europe). But how can I go about ordering the new ML in the US in the diesel? the 280CDI??? Thanks for any info you can offer!

Replying to: lizc (Feb 13, 2005 1:56 pm) Not much talk about the new ML's in the Future Vehicles discussion. Apparently the MB Turbo is one of the best engines out there:   moparbad, "Diesels in the News" #6, 5 Feb 2005 2:20 pm   Steve, Host

Replying to: lizc (Feb 13, 2005 1:56 pm) The M-class has been available in Europe for a while with a diesel. Emissions and other factors have kept it from coming to North America.   This Autoweek article claims that a diesel will be available in the M-class in 2006 (not this year), but only in 45 states where it can meet those states' emissions laws. California and New York would be two of the five states where it wouldn't be available.   http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=101581   If it does happen, there are apparently at least two engine choices. They currently produce between 325-376 lbs/ft of torque, 188-221 hp, but might be tuned differently in the U.S. Replies to this message: lizc (Feb 14, 2005 12:32 am) wmquan (Feb 14, 2005 7:24 am)

Replying to: wmquan (Feb 13, 2005 5:47 pm) Thanks so much for that autoweek link. Do you have ANY idea on when exactly in 2006 they'll start taking orders for the NEW version of the ML in diesel then? will it be maybe already in the fall of 2005? ALso, do you know anything about buying a European spec version of it in the US for possible shipment to Europe? (that's where I live) I know they're available in Europe in diesel now, but prices are much lower in the US...Thank you for any information you can offer!

Forget about importing an European Spec cars. Very expensive and time consuming. When I moved back from England. I wanted to bring back a Landrover Defender 110 Diesel. I did a lot of reasearch and it's not practical. Replies to this message: wmquan (Feb 14, 2005 7:54 am) lizc (Feb 14, 2005 10:37 am) steve_ (Feb 14, 2005 5:06 pm)

Replying to: lizc (Feb 14, 2005 12:32 am) Unfortunately, there is no accurate word on precisely when in 2006 the diesel will be in North America. It's all speculation at this point.   I'm not familiar with exporting a U.S. vehicle built to European spec, to Europe, sorry.
