New Tires and Need Horn

First of all, we just replaced the tires on our '00 ML320 with 76,000 on it. The old ones were the originals and in need of replacement. We probably pushed them about 5,000 miles beyond what we should have. They were General ST Grabbers and that is what we replaced them with through Tire Rack. Never liked General's before but 70,000 miles is pretty nice.

Next, we need to replace a horn on this vehicle and can't find one in the online stores. Does anyone know of an online parts supplier that would have an OEM horn?

Thanks,

Jim W.

I replaced my original ML430 horns with the ML55 horns from this place -

They sound more like a Mercedes should and not like the Honda sound of the originals. You'll need one High Note and one Low Note horn. An easy DIY plug and play.

Azinn - how is the sound different witht he ML55 horns? Are they still the "beeb-beeb - here comes Herbie the Love Bug" or a deeper honk like the s-class?

tks
