[W126 Coupe] re:AMG Aero II 18"s trade for 17"s anyone ? '91sec

[John Dunne]

I was looking at the 2-4 yr old BMW at the time I wrote that.  I   
"need", and do not currently own, a 4 door large sedan.  I am  
actually half way down the road on the caddy DTS  ( meets the need of  
highway cruiser with 2 couples ) - my Lotus Elise and W126 provide  
all the "driving" experience I need,  but sure wish they were gonna  
upgrade before 2010 if ever.  So - that's why I think I'll do better  
with 17's instead of the 18"s.

Or this there a better tire recomendation that the Dunlop SP that are  
so noisy now with quite a bit of life in them yet ?
