I am looking to get new tires this week end for the 87 300E and have been reading alot about which are the 'best' but would appreciate comments.

My greatest concern is I want a tire that is quiet on dry pavement, But with good traction in rain.

I am considering Perelli 4000's but have read some negative things about fast wear.
Next, are Dunlops, cant remeber type.
The dealer has some FULDA's, which I had not heard of but I have read some positive comments about them.

Any comments are appreciated.

Hi

Just in time for some advice too. I am also currently looking for new tires for my 88 260E.

I am currently having 205/60R15 Yokohama AVS ES100. I have used them since Oct 6, 2002, and these tires are wearing off VERY fast. I have only done less than 20,000 km and the tread balance is 2-3 mm.

I am quite surprise that the tires with UTQG 280 AA A wear off so fast. I don't drive hard or brake hard. The last tires before Yoko, I was using Firestone SZ50 in the same size, performed much better (dry and wet) than ES100, and last longer at 40,000 km.

Any recomendation is welcome.

the Firehawk SZ50 EP is a GREAT tire andI could not have a better recommendation for a summer perfromance tire with great ride quality ... if you are thinking of an all-season tire I really like the Bridgestone Turanza LS
