Hello All, I need a new set of summer tires for my '90 W124. I run snow tires in the winter on the standard 15" pancakes that came with the car. In the summer I am using later model 16" E-class wheels. They really give the car a more modern look. Based on some list recommendations I had been using Kuhmo Ectsa 711 tires which are now wore out. I must say that they were the worst tires I've ever owned. I only got around 15k out of them and they really made the car feel squirrelly and tracked the road terribly. The car is awesome with my Michelin Arctic Alpines. Can anyone (Dave M. perhaps?) recommend a good summer tire for this car. I'd rather not break the bank but I guess I better spend a bit more than I did on the Kuhmo's. Ralph W.
