Just my 2 cents, don't rule out Continental if you want quietness and good wet weather performance. Then there's BF Goodrich if you want something that lasts, a little noisier, but a darn good tire Harry 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -----Original Message----- From: LarryT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 08:55:35 -0400 Subject: [MBZ] Tires Again -
I need to get 4 new tires for my wifes work car - a 91 MB 300D - and was considering Kuhmo but Sears sold out but will get more soon. I'm also looking at Sumitomo and Falken. Next in line are Michelin and Pirelli - we normally run Michelins on it. I've heard good things about Kuhmo - but little about Sumi and the Falkens - we look for excellent wet weather performance and quietness - - my logic is even the worst tires will likely never see the max dry weather performance but wet weather can sneak up on us - anyway - Anyone have experience - good or bad - with any of the Sumitomo, Falken or Kuhmo in a street application?
