Question Conti Sport Contact 3

Which other tyre make should I concider when replacing all 4 tyres which currently is Conti Sport Contact 3 on the C350.
1-For better milage
2-For softer ride
3-Better grip
4-No runflats.

The rear ones are maybe going to make 15 000KM, so I replace them with Conties again for now.

I liked my Michelin PS2's and my Toyo T1-R's but they wore after 15000miles Good traction comes at a price I guess
Do mind that that was in the TT and I just mangled that car. The Benz is treated with respect

Has anyone tried Vredestein? I've heard a lot of good things about them but I've never seen one myself.

Honestly, I'd stay away from those. I had them on my S40, they cupped after about 8k miles, and got EXTREMELY noisy and full of vibration. They rode very hard too.

I'd go with a Michelin PS2...they are $$$, but worth it.

I also have the michelin PS2, they are def. worth it.

I'm not a Conti fan, my stock tyres are Conti and they are NOISY....

My 19" Michelins drives better than my oem Conti 17"

Contis suck - noisy crap & they get worse as they wear. Also uncomfortable

There are only 2 tyres for this car - Both Michelin

Pilot Sport PS2 with Exalto tread
Pilot Exalto PE2 if you want a bit more mileage - what I run.

Excellent handling - comfort & quiet

Suggest change rolling direction every 10,000Km by rotation corner to corner on non staggered set ups & across the same axle on staggered set ups.
