tire question

Hello - I am brand new to this site - just became proud new owner of a 2006 c230 sport. I like the low profile tires and am in need of some new tires soon. I would appreciate any brand suggestions for replacements. Looking for tires that will give good tread life and quite ride.
Thanks in advance.

I've always liked Continentals. Yet I'm not the best person to ask as I've owned my first Mercedes for 2 weeks only.

i just mounted a set of hankook ventus v12 on my 2006 . I think they are great tires for only 430$ for all 4 shipped from discounttiredirect.com. I, as well as many tire shops in the tri-state area, use this site for tire purchases.

I should have mentioned I am getting GT-Radials fitted on the back this week, gratis from the dealers, Continentals I'd have to pay $200 on top for each tire. The front are Toyo tires. Mine is a firm ride and if I had to pay for a set, I would get the softer continentals as mentioned above. But as I am not paying for them and my dealers tire department (I trust them) says the GT-Radials are great tire too, I will go with them. Plus two Continentals on the back and Toyo at the front isn't work it for me. I'd wait until I need to replace all for (Toyo & GT-Radials) in the future and then go Continentals again.

I am extremely pleased with the michelin PS2 summer tires that I am using. I have an extra set of rims with dedicated snow tires that I run in the winter. I notice a huge change when I put the summer tires back on, but then again, I am going from a snow tire to a performance summer tire.

Mine came with the continental dws. I loved the ride with those tires. It rode like I was on a cloud and they were quiet too!

my car came with the continental contisport contact performance tires and man can those grip! if you're looking for a summer performance tire, get either these or michelin ps2. i'm about to get the ps2's on my black rims for the summer and get a good set of bridgestone blizzak winter tires for the winter on my stock rims. for a good all season tire and comfort, either continental dws or michelin pilot a/s.
