No offense taken - good question. I bought the car used and it came with records. Original tires lasted about 25,000 miles as have the next two sets. On the tire rack website they have a nice feature where you can get tire reviews only for your particular model. I noticed more 210 chassis vehicles getting poor tire mileage than ones getting good mileage. Don't know if you can make a comparison or not, but I'm used to over 50,000 miles on my 240D. Rotations get done, tire pressure gets checked, etc. Don't understand this.

The Tire Rack website seems to give the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 the best reviews. I'll probably give them a try.
