E350 4matic
i swapped a set of Bridgestone "extended mobility" (read run flat) tires for a set of Continental extreme contact DWS tires about three months ago. Much less road noise and great grip around town but I've noticed it to be a bit floaty on the highway at 70 and up. Mine is a 2014 Luxury with 4matic and I live in the Northeast US so I need something that will handle snow and ice. We have had on snow since and the tires handled it extremely well.

245/35ZR-19 Michelin Pilot Sport.
I installed Michelin Pilot Sport tires on my e350 in August and have been very satisfied. Smooth and quiet with decent handeling.

I have a 2011 Bluetec
which originally came with Turanza EL4's.
When they wore out I put on Bridgestone Driveguards and am very happy. Great grip and less noise than what came off.
By the way, I bought mine from bestusedtires.com for $300 for all four, delivered to my tire installer.
The market is full of brand new take-off run-flats that people don't want, and you don't have to pay retail for new RFT.
I am quite happy with RFT in general, and these Driveguards in particular.

I picked up a set of Continental Purecontacts for $126 a tire with free shipping from this place:

They also had the DWS06 for $146, but I was going for longer tread wear instead of most aggressive tread. They seem fine so far, but they're still sorta new.

Thank you, Michelins are my favorite. However, I would like to explore other options. BTW, are you satisfied with wear rate so far? What is your expectation, 45K?

I've only had them on since August, but so far the wear has been good. My primary focus when I chose the Michelins was I wanted the quietest tire I could find. The Michelins have met my expectations.

Tires are fine, I am not Mario Andretti out there. Just put them on this past spring, and now they're off because of my snow tires on. I guess I've got about 8000 miles on them so far.
