I replaced the ContiPro's on my '91 300D last Feb (got ~70K Mi) with a set
of Kuhmo's. WHile I dislike sending money to China they were too good a
deal to pass up. So far (~20K mi) they have been excellent - great in
rain, snow and dry. Plus they seem to be wearing very slowly.
It's getting harder and harder to find 14's (for my MGB) and gradually
getting harder finding 15s. I suspect 15s will virtually disappear (except
from the vintage tire sellers) as 16" becomes the new standard.

Subject: [MBZ] Tire decision time: 195/65 or 205/60?
Worn suspension on my '87 wagon has killed the Continental ContiProContact
tires after about 40k miles. I'm in the process of rebuilding rear
suspension and installing new front struts, and I need to decide which
replacement tires to get. Unfortunately Tire Rack had the latest version of
the ContiProContact is on back order (195/65R15 in the 91H service rating),
so I've spent some time looking for something else.
Should I go with the 205/60 tires? It looks like there's more variety and
lower prices for that profile tire.
Very respectfully,
