[W126 Coupe] 560 Summer tires

[J Hodgman]

Michelin PS2.  All weathers are ok, but never spectacular.  If you want to
have some Real fair weather only fun and don't mind horrible tread wear a
Yoko A048 R spec is a hoot, or a step back would be the neova.  IIRC, both
are avaialble in a 16.

I run summer only on the bulk of my cars...you get spoiled...quickly;)
