Recomendation for a 85 300CD

I'd like to know which tires people think are best for a 85 CD.

Yokohama Avid T-4
Firestone Affinity LH30
Michelin Harmony

My main interest are ride comfort and low noise, with a little bit of performance.

Yokohama Avid T4....size 205/70/14.
The Michelin Harmony seems to have a very good rating in the SNOW. They seem to be rated well all around.
Personally, I chose to go with the Yokohama tires, even tho' I have run brand new Michelins on most of my previous vehicles............millions of miles.

I like Yokohama's for the money, Michelin's are nice to but cost more.

I am very impressed with the Affinity LH30s. Great handeling in ice and snow. Good wear and minimal noise. A real bargain tire.
I bought a set for my 300D two years ago and am so impressed that I'm replacing my Dunlop Sport A2s on the 260E with them.

My only concern is wheels.... what would look nice at a good price????

I'm off to the TireRack...

Good luck!

What car are you looking for wheels for?

I bought mine from Tirerack and couldn't be more happy with them!
