What tires is everyone running?

What tires are you guys running and how do you like them?
I have Continental ContiProContact 225/45/17 91H. I like them, smooth ride, not noisy, and pretty good in snow/inclement weather.

Right now Conti DWS, 225/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear. They're ok, but I'm not impressed with them in snow/winter conditions, despite everyone raving about them. If I had to do it over, I would have gotten dedicated winter tires for it.

Conti Sport Contact 3's made in Germany. Original staggered fitment. 18,600 miles & just about toast. Can't wait to get the crap off even though they are better on the W209 than the W203 or W204. Hard, noisy rubbish on this chassis. Get noisier with wear. As I have said before DW & DWS are OK.

Michelin PS2's are waiting for fitment. I can't wait. Conti's were crap on our W204 & W203 as well. I'm very tyre picky.

These for me, too. I haven't driven in snow, but I've been really impressed in all other situations.

Sorry, I should've clarified, not on the benz. Had them on a mustang Above average grip but tread didn't last as long as I liked.......then again I guess burnouts didn't help.

xaran- How are those Motivo's? They are suppose to be the newer versions of the Invo correct?
