C Class W202 220CDI Estate
Which tyres can you recommend?

I am looking for four new tyres for my C Class 220CDI W202.

The tyre size is 195/65 R15.

Whilst I want a tyre that is all round safe and long lasting, high on my priority list is low noise.

I am not looking for a cheap tyre, I am prepared to pay a reasonable amount for good quality

Can anyone recommend anything please.

You can read the reviews and ratings from C Class owners at www.tirerack.com. I think the Goodyear Triple Tread's "comfort" version is supposed to be nice and quiet. I believe the other Triple Tread version is a bit better in terms of handling but not as quiet.

I have some Yokohama Avids that I really like for 4 season tires that still have a bit of performance to them but they are not as silent as some of the other tires.

I just put in a set of P-Zero M+S on my GF 98 C280 sport. It is pretty good in handling and the road noise is not too bad.

It has some good review at tirerack.com as well. Check them out.

Cheers

I switched to TOYO Proxes tires and have been extremely happy with their performance and the fact that they are very quiet.

I have Kumho Ecsta SPT's on my new set of rims. I like them a lot, cheap and performs very good, 90$ per tire.

I have Toyo Proxes TPT on my Honda Odyssey, they're great but costly, 115$ per tire.

Talking Continental Contitour Tires

Continentals are argued to be the best tires for that type of car. If you're willing to commit to the original stock tires it was built with.

In America these wheels run about.. $85 depending on what your supplier is.. however I'm not sure what the price is across the pond. Or wherever you are.
