[W126 Coupe] Goodyear tires

[fnorth1 at aol.com]

I am having the front suspension worked on tomorrow and thought it a good time to get new tires all around. I am staying with the 15" wheels so wanted to upsize to 215s from the Michelin 205/65 15s I have now. A local tire dealer didn't have any 215s in the 15" size but I did get prices for Goodyear Eagle GTs, $70.97, Falken ZE 912, $90.24, and michelin Pilot Exalto, $133.91. 
215/65-15s are tough to find in H and Z ratings. Although Sears can fit 205s in all those brands and Continentals, at sale prices, no 215s

Good and bad. Every manufacturer seems to have a few great lines, a few 
acceptable models, and the bargain-basement K-Mart specials. Which ones 
did you have in mind?
