I put a set of Michelin Premier AS on mine and really like them.

You'll enjoy rolling the miles up on this.

We installed a set of the same tires on our 05 CDI in December.
Very nice tires, bought them from Tire Rack, and their feedback indicated the Premier had the best snow/ice ratings in the category.

I recall that they took very little weight to balance, one was good out of the box, the worst was 3/4 of an ounce, using my Hunter dual plane balancer. Michelin seems to be superior to others, WRT balance. I just finished repainting the alloys on the 85 300TD, and the 14" Michelins on that car took 3/4 of an ounce or less per wheel, as well when I remounted the tires.
