Tires?

I am looking for the best all-season tire for my 99 C280. Anyone have a suggestion? We did get some snow this year in Ohio, although just around 35" total.

Short on cash? Go with these Dunlops SP Sport 5000.

If you won the lottery.....Michelin XGT V4. I always find Michelin tires to be noisy though.

I have Bridgestone Potenza RE910's on my '99 C230 Sport. Great tire!!! It has gotten excellent reviews on Tire Rack's website.

I loved the Pilot Sport A/S when I had them. I just don't know if I would love them in the snow.

Ohio Weather Sucks

I also live in Ohio (Cleveland), and found that the Michelin MXV's worked well through the end of this winter. I originally had the Pirelli P6000's. They were useless. I think the way to go is with 2 sets of tires. One for winter, and one for summer. Obviously pricey though.
