Re: [MBZ] Tires

There's quite an industry around here selling used tires on Craigslist. You search by your tire size and get a bunch of returns. To be honest, I have been tempted a couple of times, as I have seen some really nice high end tires with minimal wear going pretty cheap, like under $200 for a set

Hankook. I like toyo a lot also. But seriously frugal people run used tires. I did that all through residency on an 87 Ltd and a 1999 tbird. Got the job done. The guys at the used tire place in Baltimore used to mock me for writing checks, because the check blanks are so expensive. On May 23,

I put a set of Falken “Ziex” ZE950 tires on the 350SDL when I bought it. I’ve been very pleased with them so far. They seemed to be well rated every place I looked online. Dan > On May 23, 2016, at 6:49 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > I'm looking for

Kuho Solus were pretty good.  I put a set of ‎Falken Sincera tires on a beater. I am truly impressed by them. Especially the winter traction. I would definitely buy them again.  Rick  Sent from my BlackBerry Z10   Original Message   From: Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes Sent: Monday, May 23,
