Kumhos were great and lasted -- 15,000 miles. They will be prorated under the 50kmi warranty.
Should I replace them with same, or try the V4S (60kmi warranty)?

The E420 gets new tires every 15 to 20kmi. Weight, torque and my driving (mostly city) does not seem to make for long lasting tires.

I have been very happy with the Kumhos except for the sidewall looks.
Also, I had them in 225/55/16 - which seemed to work well.

in your condition I would not be happy with the Kumho's ... and I like the Avid V4S better anyhow

at lukes suggestion, i have replaced dunlops[15k] with the yoko avid v4s. on my 1997 s500c.

quiet, accurate handling, good braking. now, if they will just provide better durability.

my kumho ectsa hp4 develpoped temp-dependent dimples on 2 tires' sidewall.I did not return them as argument would likely follow with the shop whether that is
(1) even visible
(2)even important.

Naturally, i would not be buying Kumhos ever again.
