C240 OEM tire upgrade - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

The stock tires that came on myc240 are the Continentals. Definitly a good tire but does not have the look I want. I live in the Bahamas and it is hot maybe 80% of the year with alot of rain especially between May-September. Any recomendations on a higher rated tire that also has the ZR tread? Dunlop seems to have some good tires. Let me know what you think.

Click on The Tire Rack site above, specify the size of tire & what kind of performance you expect from it.
You can also read all the consumer reviews of whatever brand you choose.

Its all about the SO3's from Bridgestone but they are pricey. The Firestone Firehawk SZ50 are really really good, don't let the Firestone name scare you

Don't let the Bridgestone name scare you either.
Just read in the newspaper, where Bridgestone is re-calling several hundred thousand tires for replacement.
Yes, it also involves Ford vehicles again.
