rear tire recomendation?

when I bought my 2006 CLK350 (pre-owned), it had Rotalla F105's (94W) on the front and Continental SportContact2's (91Y) on the rear. After 2 seasons of use, the rears are toast but the fronts still have plenty of tread.



Would the Hancook Ventus V12 evo K110 be a good choice?

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
The Ventus V12 is a great bargain tire.
It's already had several positive reviews by tire critics (search for them).

I had a pair of 305/25-20 for my previous C219 CLS63 and had no issues. Actually I loved them.
If I had to scrutinize, I'd say the sidewalls were a little on the soft side.
