to all you running econo tires on your diesel....
GET RID OF THEM!!!!!!! I was running a low cost set of Goodyear tires for a long time on my 83 300SD, and they finally got to the point that they HAD to be replaced. I'm talking I couldn't hardly back out of my mall parking spot in the rain b/c they would slip so bad(belts showing). For Christmas my parents bought me four new, toyo tires, with an H rated sidewall. They said that they are the tires that come on the new maxima's? anyway, it's a high performance rain tire, or something to that effect. MAN, what a difference, I don't even feel like I'm driving the same car. It turns better, rides nicer(albeit a bit firmer, but not harsher, almost smoother?) and feels much more solid at highway speed. Also, the rain traction of this tire is INCREDIBLE, I can't even get the wheels to spin if I try! I finally feel like I'm driving a benz, and there is much less play in the steering as well. so to all you running econo tires, save up and get the *real* benz tires, you won't regret it!!!
