Good tires for 85 280SL (Euro)

[desert]

Any recomendations for good tires ( 205/70R14) for 85 280SL (Euro)? I'm an easy driver so high speed tires are not needed. Also since I live in So. Arizona rain/snow related tires are not a major consideration. What I'm looking for is a good riding/handling tire for mostly city type driving. Thanks....

I replaced Michelins with the Pirellis. The sidewalls on the Michelins were very thin for a softer ride. Also made it a mushy ride. I find the Pirellis better...in my case.
