[W126 Coupe] Help

[Bruce Mendel]

Well, sure, if you can afford Michelins! :)

I have run a few sets of the Contis on my Audi S8s and was pretty happy. Maybe the AWD helps compensate for the wigglies.

  Bruce..I don't know about those Conti's..I See them come out of the box pretty wiggly more often then not ;-)

  I'd go w/ the Michelin Exalto Pilot...Just put a set on a customers car and they work amazingly well in the wet and are Very respectable in the dry.  I've heard Good things from those that run these and deal w/ snow:)

    I like Continental ExtremeContact all seasons for all year use in a non-dedicated snow tire, and also Bridgestone KDW-S if they still make that is very good in wet/cold weather and decent in warm too.

      Now that winter is approaching (or already here), can I get some recommendations for tires?  Mine skid the minute it starts raining.  I'm not looking for snow tires... just some 4 season tires that won't slip when the pavement is wet or snowy.  I realize that nothing is secure on ice, so I'm not asking for miracles.  Just some good traction.

      Thanks.
