New Tires for AMG 18" Rims

New here to the forum and was wondering if you guys had a preference between the following 3 tires for my 09 e-350 with AMG 18" Rims

Bridgestone Turanza Serenity
Michelin Pilot A/S 3
or
Continental Extreme Contact DWS

We are looking for a nice quiet ride but in a V rated tire!!!

Thanks for any help, Bruce

Too many german broads
Go with the Michelins ! its worth the extra money...
Stay away from DWS if you want good handling...

If you look at the tread pattern of the Michelin Pilot A/S 3 you can tell it's essentially the all season version of the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, and is part of that direct product line which is arguably one of the best out there at the moment in its category. I'd definitely go Pilot A/S 3, that's what I would have gotten if they were out at the time.

Thanks guys will go with the Michelin Pilot A/s 3's and best part is dealer is paying I just have to call him this morning and let him know which tire I was going with. Me and the wife (a research nut) narrowed it down to those 3 and needed help with which tire was best.

Much appreciated!!

I like Michellin tires and run Pilot Super Sports. The Pilot A/S are a good all-season choice and more performance oriented. The DWS don't corner as well, but are smoother/quiter and very winter capable.

V rated tires? These are all going to be W or Y speed rated.
