[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 55, Issue 3

Hey, Isn't that the tire (Michelin MXV-4) that perpetrated the crime in My Cousin Vinny?? ;-) 

Good Lord... They still make those things...? You have to admit... She was cute! 

Good time to consider an upgrade to wheel size and tires for not much more... IMHO

I've had both. 
Although they are move expense, the Primacy MXV-4 is a much better value. 
The car weighs too much for the Harmony - tire wear is only 25-30K. 
MXV-4's get approx 35-40K+ and has a sturdier side wall (better handling and ride).

  My rims are original 14" and stock suspension, which I am keeping, so need to figure out 
  which Michelins are the best buy for warm rather than cold weather. 
  The local tire shop suggests the Harmony series.  Any other thoughts 
  out there for the best ride? 

  Thanks, 
  Robert
