Re: [MBZ] Continental or Vredstein? Or maybe General
That is the ones I’m looking at. Either that or I might look into the GT radials again. Might try the Maxtour. The current tires I have on the car are these, which looked like they would be decent. They hum and it sounds like a bad wheel bearing. They seem to do great in the rain, even heavy rain. When the road is just wet, say after a rain, or just wet in general, it’s almost like you are on ice. They will slide real easy and forget about taking a curve without slowing way down. https://milestartires.com/passenger-cars/weatherguard-as710/ Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 22, 2022, at 11:44 AM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > > Hitrak. > >> On Sat, Oct 22, 2022 at 12:42 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes >> wrote: >> Which ones?
