Looks like this website has the best prices and a nice big selection. Too bad they are west coast which brings the shipping cost up. https://www.onlinetires.com/index.php - Max Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Craig, I wonder about the alignment job if the car was difficult in cross winds. I've got to replace tires on both my 124 cars, but I don't want to pay Michelin prices. I think our Infiniti has Sumitomo (sp?) tires now that are decent, may get those. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95

MMM, thanks, the Nexen prices are very nice. However I really don't like noisy tires. Usually I devote most of a day to research on Tire Rack before I make a decision. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On May 9, 2015 8:47:29 AM EDT, M. Mitchell Marmel via Mercedes
