Getting new tires... which ones?

The Cheapest ones I can find for my CLK430 Rims are: Kumho ECSTA Supra 712


Any feedback on these tires? Suggest any other tires? Thanks

You spent all that money on one of the best cars on the market, why would you be looking for the cheapest tire? Your car deserves a quality performance tire.

If you really want to go the cheap route, go down to your Honda shop and pick up four sets of their spare tires. I've never seen a CLK with 5" wide wheels.

bridgestone potenza s03 are the best, and they are cheaper then the pilot sports. However I think the tread is nicer on the pilots.

I personally think a Mercedes owner should get better and more expensive tires for his wheels, but as a high school student, I'm trying to save as much as I can, so i got Kumho tires for my 18" AMG Monoblock(staggered), they're about $130 each, and they're not bad. It's up to you, get better tires if you can afford them.
