i think you should stick with the michelins because it come with the car.

Had Coopper Zeon installed on my C300 Sport 2010. Started out OK, good handling on curves and all, relatively quiet (after having Contis, which were noisy) They were junk after less than 5K--worn, noisy and one was even bulging. That's what happens when you go cheap. Going for Michelins this time.

I had Michelin Primacys on mine. They will be the quietest tires for the life of the car and I think they even have a 50,000 miles warranty now.

As for the alignment, get it done ASAP, even before you get the new tires. The previous set of tires I had before the Michelins, were Yokohamas and I didn't notice the drift but over time that created a wear pattern in the tires (I think inside edge) that even with an alignment the wear got worse. I'm not a tire expert, but the guy at the tire shop said that once the tires start wearing a certain way, past a certain point they just continue that pattern.

Michelin Premier tires were designed for the W140 and the big Jaguar Sedans. They are not cheap but are worth every penny when you need to corner or stop in a hurry. I have had 3 MBs and each has had Michelin tires and I have never even had so much as a flat tire and have gotten many miles from them. Wouldn't trade them for anything.

michelins are now made in China,and they don't pass the savings to consumers.

Got the Michelins Pilot Sport A/S 3 and they are great. I wish I had gotten them sooner. The quietest, smoothest ride ever. Are 4matics supposed to wear tires quicker? If so, is it just because of the inability to rotate the tiers but side to side or is it also due to them being awd?

4 magics are heavier like the W140 and will wear tires quicker. I run Michelin Pilot sports on my W140 S500 and W208 CLK430 and Continental on the W211 E320 4Matic for summer.
