What tires are you running?

I've got an '07 E350 Sport (RWD, no airmatic) with the 18" factory wheels. Time for new tires.... I've been going with Continental ContiPro Contacts that I believe came on the car from the factory? But wanted to see if there's something else you guys prefer before I pull the trigger on another set of those.

I'm in FL so warm weather tires only. Preference for ride/comfort/quiet, tread wear, and cost over handling... this is my daily, I'm not driving it hard. Appreciate any suggestions you guys have. Cheers!

Here is my thread from a week ago. How is the wear with the OE Continentals? I was thinking of giving them a try next.

The Continentals are fine. Just wanted to see if there was something way quieter or gets more mileage that I'm missing out on.

Well if you like Continental, try the PureContact LS. Had the older tires and got over 50 out of them on my other car, the new sets are good for 70k. I just got Michelins Pilot A/S 4 at Costco, they're only good for 45k although I got a tad over 40k out of them. I mainly do Costco now for the road hazard warranty. Those Continentals I had two flat tires during that period and had to pay out of pocket for them.
