[diesel_mercedes] Rolling Resistance

 

You're not kidding Brian ! .

It was ever so slightly up hill and I had to stop pushing to turn the steering wheel to manoever it between the two lines of curb parked cars to get it into the alley, I'd hoped I could get a little bit of momentum going as it turned off the crown of the street, I was lucky to not have blocked the alley (some Women were short cutting after picking up their little darlings at the public school at the far end of the alley and kept me on my toes not to get hit) .

FWIW, I run radial tires, I guess everyone does these dayze but I also am *very* picky about the inflation pressures, for my load and driving I get the best traction @ 40 PSI cold, that helps when pushing.....

I admire anyone who can push an MB with OM617 engine anywhere. They are dead weight when they stop unless you are rolling downhill.
