[W126 Coupe] Goodyear tires

[Robin Jones]

Out of those 3, I'd go with the Michelins. I run the Exaltos on my Saab
and they behave very well in all of the conditions I've encountered
(dry, rain, and snow). I'll probably go to dedicated summer tires next
time for the Mercedes.

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?
