I put Goodyear Eagles (195-65-15s) on the 91 300D shortly after we bought it and was very disappointed with their performance - poor wet, poor dry and rapid wear. The Kuhmo Extsa's on it now seem the opposite! I guess the car is very important when it comes to tire performance - we had exactly the opposite results --
Go figger -

So does anyone on this list run 205/60R15 tires on a 124? I'd like to stay
with the factory rating, but I'm considering whatever trade-off may be
required if I can save $100 or so.

My 2.3-16v came with proper size worn out Goodyears (205/55vr15 on aftermarket rims.) Those Eagles were hard and shiny, but it cornered better than with the
new Kumhos I put on it (195/65/15 on narrower 190D rims)
