Best A/S Tires for 87 420 SEL?

I need to replace all 4 tires on my 420 SEL. I was looking at MICHELIN PREMIER A/S 205/65R15 ...what else should i look at? Any recommendations?

There are lots of 15" tires available in that size from $60 to $135 a piece.
At the bottom of the price range I would suggest the Cooper CS3, its a bit noisy though according to a friend who owns some but at $72 is an American made tire and good quality.
I use and recommend Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus. At around $150 per tire I like them way better than Michelins.

Real Tires say "Michelin" on the Sidewall

All others are but future Tugboat Bumpers.
