Looking for advice on new tires. 95 S320
I'm looking to get some new ties for my 95 S320, and not exactly sure waht to get. I have been looking at Michalen Primacy tires. Costco has them for $184 installed and balanced... What are some other good types?? Continental?? etc??
I live in Canada, so a good MS rating is essential... I also am known to drive pretty hard... Don't do it all the time, but sometimes... Looking for size 235/60hr16. Load rating 100...

Michelin Pilot Exaltos or the Bridgstones listed in my signature. Wonderful tires and I tend to have periods where I drive more like an animal. See just about all kinds of weather where I live. Just do the research. I have.

What are you looking for in a set of tires? Great handling? Long treadwear? Do you drive in deep snow?
There are many selections in todays tires. You need to start the process by deciding what your number one goal is.

Well, this is a bit late to ask those questions... Bought the michelins yesterday...
Yes, I want the long treadwear. I live down a gravel road. I also want decent snow handling... We can get some decent snows here, but it usually blows off the roads pretty quickly... I'm not into the whole winter tire gig... The last few years, I have only seen a few very deep snows, and the ice is usually sanded pretty quickly after the snow falls... Great handling is important, as I do like taking corners somewhat fast... lol

It's always hard to go wrong with Michelin brand tires, but there are MANY choices. Buying the right tire these days is not simple. Since you already have them, there's no need to discuss it further.
Enjoy them.

As I said, I asked the question the day before I bought... It's a 200 mile round trip to the city, and I wanted to get them while I was there....
