Larry you hit the nail on the head. nothing bad to say except the handling. I couldn't even do 50 mph on a street I can usually do 75 on no problem. The contis just had no stick whatsoever. Its kind of sad when your brothers range rover can drive the same street at 75 mph and still have more left and good handling, and your benz just can't cut it above 50. the tires would just start to break traction. Now on the highway the contis were fine, 120 mph was no problem for them. Its the street handling that just got to me. I'm used to stickier tires on cars that are more of a sporty car.

My jeep was able to do 65 on the same streets with no problems, again an SUV should not outhandle an autobahn burnin benz, unless its an ML55 or a BMW X5 4.6IS....

Wet traction was horrendous, and dry traction almost as bad.

If I ever did go to fast and got the car to break loose, you couldn't easily correct it in one swift manuever you had to jog back and forth.

Overall, mileage and ride and quietness were fine, it was the handling I hated.

The handling made me feel as if I was running bicycle tires on my car.
