Tyre options?I purchased the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and have put about =
8,000 miles on them and have no problems. I chose them because in the =
high performance tire world, they get the best mileage, ride and little =
road noise.
However some people have reported a tracking problem, but I have not had =
that.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is the best, the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX is a good =
price/performance tire

Can anyone recommend a set of tires for my SL500?
I'm down to choosing between Bridgestone Turanza LS; Michelin Pilot =
MXM-4 in Gand Touring All-season tires, or=20
Kumho ECSTA ASX; Michelin Pilot Sport A/S; or Yokohama AVS dB S2 in =
the Ultra High Performance All-Season class.
HELP!!! Its so confusing! I'm primarily interested in Ride, =
Comfort and low road noise. Handling and tread life are the next =
parameters.
Thanks!
