[W126 Coupe] Tires

[Josh Allen]

I'd like to second the suggestion of Michelin tires.

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S mounted on my other toy, and loved them, 
but as others have said, they wear quickly.  The A/S ones aren't quite 
as soft as the PS2's are, but they have better weather handling.
On the other hand, the Exalto line works well for a performance leaning 
but fairly balanced tire.  Decent snow handling, great water driving 
ability. 

Currently I have a set of 225/50-16 mounted on AMG wheels under my SEC 
and can't complain.
