I want to go to either Goodyear or Firestone for tires because I really don't like ordering tires or waiting. In your opinion what tires are the best for mercedes? Must have the best comfort and quietness. I was looking at the Bridgestone Turanza with Serenity and Im just not sure about the Good year tires yet. I tried to go on Michelin... but I was only offered.. like 1 tire and it said not offering oem anymore sucks. Anyfeedback is great! Thanks!

Michelin PS2's. About to replace my current set with the same. Love the tire. Got a great deal as well.

Go with the Bridgestone. I would have gone with them but saved about $200 going with the Continental ProContact. A lot of people don't like this tire but if it is original equipment on many models of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi it can't be all that bad. I have them on both my cars and could not be happier.

honestly, compared to the PS2's, the Conti's that came w/ my E550 were horrible tires .. poor traction dry or wet .. very easy to hydroplane .. and wore out very quickly.
PS2's I've driven through a huge puddle at 60mph+ and its been stable (on purpose, without putting anyone at risk).
I'd rather get those EVO's or whatever C&D rated as good as the PS2's but half the cost than go back to the Conti's.

and its orig equip b/c Conti gives the mfg's good deals .. it doesn't make it the best tire for your car.

I have V rated on the Merc and they were great during the last Ice and snow storms we had last month here in Missouri.
The E53 has had the H rated version on for 25k plus on them and they look good as new, well more like 80% or so.

Yeah, MB wouldn't put an unsafe tire on the car. Its a good "value" tire .. doesn't make it the safest tire or the best tire for the car.

I just replaced my original tires at 40,000 miles. They were Michelin Pilot MXM4's. The new tires are the Primacy MXM4XL's. I think the new tires run much quieter and they also seem to ride smoother.
The Primacy's have a 55,000 mile warranty. My originals probably could have gone another 5 - 7K miles, but once they hit the wear line, I like to dump them.
I got them from the stealer, who (almost) price matched a local tire place... $1150 - out the door. I didn't think that was too bad. I've seen them a little lower, but it's down in the noise.
So far so good.
