Tire recommendation wanted
I'm guessing the Pilot Sports are #1. I love Michelins but they can be priced pretty high.
Is there anything priced better that is also still a solid tire? It is for 2005 CLK55 cab?
Right now I have some Yokohama S-Drives on there (came with the car) and while the amount of tread looks OK I think there is some uneven wear since I get a slight roar on smooth pavement and the frequency is proprtional to the car speed.

I really enjoyed my Toyo T1-R as a good all around tire. The BFG G-force rocks for performance. Note that the BFG profile is a little larger than some mfr's.

I've had good luck with PS2s, but they are expensive. I've also run T1Rs, Nitto555 (they were on the monoblocks I bought used), Falken RT615s (track use) and I'm trying some Pirelli Pzero Neros on my W124 wagon.
For the street/highway use, I really like both the T1Rs and PS2s.

I'm using the General Exclaim UHP's and I've been pretty pleased thus far, enough so that I put their touring tires on my daily. You can read the reviews on TireRack, they are a hell of a bang for the buck.

These new dunlops are superb. Plus they are relatively cheap compared to the PS2's.
