S1E3 already out a few years ago, just not yet available here yet.
What I could suggest is that use higher treadwear tires at the front. For example like front uses PS4 at 320 TW and rear uses CSC5 at 280 TW.

maybe too much toe in...maybe not enough -ve camber...maybe absorber problem also...

wear can be even out a bit with proper alignment to suit your car/style

Those are just examples I can quickly think of la.
Your outer wear out faster but you don't drive hard in the corners, then maybe your alignment is a bit too much toe-in.

Toe adjustment is different than camber and always need to be adjusted if not aligned properly or when need to replace the rods. Camber issue normally also just a bit too negative which will eat the inner treads faster, not outer treads. Outer treads might be worn faster if positive camber which I think highly unlikely in a modern Mercs.

Yes but he said he doesn't drive fast so by right should not eat up the outer. All my cars all outer treads also worn out fast but inner also same coz I got like -1.5 or more camber and I like corners bit fast so the inner worn out by the camber and the outer worn out by cornering, ends up looking like I under inflate my tires even though already quite high pressure. 😅

I was planning to grab this Hankook k125, one shop in Batu Caves quoted me rm235/pcs for 17"215/45. I think can get cheaper.

Coming from Hankook Ventus12evo2, im a bit skeptical. Cant move on by the performance v12e2 gives during my driving hours with it.

Anybody can recommend any tyre shop with tempting price for k125 around KL? might go this coming monday
