Best non-RF Tires for the 18 inch wheels
Considering replacing the stock tires with non-RFs. I need an all season for northeast climate, year round daily driver. Any recommendations / tires you would definitely stay away from?

I have had good luck with the Michelin A/S 3, and the Conti DWS06. The Michelin is better overall, the Conti is cheaper, but it's close. I haven't had these tires on a C class, but on a FWD VW, and RWD BMW and Cadillac. If my C is ever actually delivered, once the RFT's go, A/S 3 or current Michelin model.

Ive been happy with the Indy 500's, but ive only had them for about a month. Hit a pothole and blew out the sidewall of the front runflat with 18's.
I was almost to the wear bar, but the indy 500's in the rain have the same grip as the oem conti's did dry.
Quite (except under aggressive lateral movement they can make some noise), smooth, and even with JB4 map 2 i cant break them loose from a dig (45/55 dif on C400, C43 with 30/70 might get the back moving)
Just noticed you were looking for all season tire though, not sure how they do in the snow, we dont get that where im at. For the price tho you could get indy 500's and a cheap winter tire...
