I would suggest that you take a look at the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H. I just replaced the MXV4's on my W126 with the Turanza's and have been very satisfied. They are highly regarded, and as a bonus...

Thanks jbaj007, I'll keep an eye out for it. This piece doesn't come off too easy, so I figure there's something to it besides pulling hard. I don't want to break anything in the process, of course.
