Tires For w126

What i noticed when was looking to buy a car every owner states that they just put new brakes , tires almost new ..... im laughing now , after i almost got killed when after getting my insurance was going to the get registration for the car ....i was crossing the draw bridge -metal grid in the middle....
second after my rear tires hot the grid i was thrown on the opposite lane went over the devidnig curb and had the incoming traffic 20 feet from me, no theres was no adrenaline rush no crazy heart beat like 300 bpm it all came after,
after i started counterstearing and managed to get back into my lane but thers was problem too ,almost hit car in second lane ....and it all happend a mile from courthouse ....
So the statement they make almost new tires is nothing but a ....( if rubber has cracs in it ,change it right away dont test your destiny )
I went for the michelin hydroedge , $90 a tire total came out $400 ,
and WOW :
1.you can barely hear the road all you hear i engine running
2.wet weather, puddles....no differance between regular sunny day...
I know some people recomend Continental if you have a tight budget but Michelin Hydroedge is #1 if you can choose...
