Hi fellow members / friends,

I would appreciate any thoughts you have on the best performing tires for my 1989 300 SE ( W 126 ) spoiled brat baby.

I am looking for a safe and smooth ride; my average speeds are 60 - 75 MPH and have been using Michelins since I bought her.
On Tire Rack, I see the Michelin Premier A/S 94-V as the best seller in the category.

Any good suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your feedback

I think the consensus around this forum is Michelins are the tire of choice. The Mich Premiers are a nice tire. What were you finding for a price per tire? Without googling I was thinking they were alittle pricey.

I just put these Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring on my w124 e320 and we are very pleased. They are available in both H and V ratings. Smooth quiet good wet and dry traction. Tire Details - Discount Tire Direct

Thanks very much for taking the time.
Just installed Premier A/S 94H at Costco ( $ 129.00 ) ea; they just had finished the ongoing promotion whereby they give you a $ 70.00 on 4 tires.
Best.

What size did you get? How are they holding up? I'm looking for tires for my 560SEC.

Just put Pirellis on the Jeep. Spend around $185/tire (17" offroads) (rubber, mounting, balance, old disposal) but WOW! It's quiet, smooth, and sticks to the road like you wouldn't believe. If you can spare the change, you won't look back.
