I run Continental ContiSportContact 3 but need to change soon thinking about some BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 because my tires are wearing out. What do you guys roll on?

I use Hankook V12s in the summer (Best bang for your buck IMO) and Dunlop wintersport 3D for the winter. Love them both.

I run Michelin PS2 and Falken 452 on the W211. Falkens are great bang for buck too.

Have had no issues with the General UHP Exclaim tires. I run them in the summer. Prices are pretty much inline with those mentioned above.

got a great deal on Bridgestone Potenza RE 760 sports. I have had the Exclaims and Yokohama S Drives. I have found that these bridgestones last much longer and are more sticky than anything I have used in the past. I might shell out the extra money again next time. I do want to try the Hankooks though.

I did look into the Bridgestones. They didn't offer a 265-30-19

I shop between DTD and TR.

DTD has free shipping. TR usually has a better price on tires but charges shipping making them about equal.

TR has more in stock than DTD. Some of DTD tires are special order (up to 2 weeks)

For what the Michelin's are going to go for you could buy 2 sets of the 452's. Which are really go tires IMO.

I love them, but they are summer tires. If you experience cold temps, they are rock hard.
