After enjoying 19" Pirellis for their quietness and handling, a lot of tire forum comments complained about the really quick wear.
Hence do you S class guys have a favorite tire for quiet, handling and decent wear?
Of course Z rated tires are softer and will wear faster, but some durability would be nice for us non- racing types.
Thanks!

Michelin have a good good reputation of being the most smooth and quiet. I must agree, i've had pirelli, Yoks, Kuhmo, Falken and like the Michelin.
