Hi Jim! Just wanted to tell you that my S 500 L came factory fitted with Continentals and replaced them with the same. They work great!

I have tried Michelins and Pirellis on my W124Ts and they all have failed miserably. Our roads here in Costa Rica are horrible (and I mean HORRIBLE!!!). The Italian fancy tires cannot stand them. On the other hand, the Continentals do not complain at all.
