[W126 Coupe] 560 Summer tires

[Jay Hirsch]

Michelin  225/60 x 16 H  MXV4 Primacy.  Smooth, quiet ride. 
Depending on the rain I do  10  mph or more  under the speed limit.
You only know when the car hydroplanes when it hydroplanes.  
There are no awards for speeding  on wet roads, does not prove anything.
keep cruisin
