I have a 1987 Merc 560 SEC that does very low mileage, especially now that I have a 4/4 (yes, I know there could not be 2 more different cars).
I finally got off my backside to replace the Merc's 14 year old tyres, in part provoked by the discussion on here about old tyres. I was seduced by the price of Kumhos to replace the Michelins.
I have a very steep driveway and the now Kumho shod car could barely make it up without huge amounts of wheel spin. This is a car that when it gets out I like to drive with some spirit.
So now I have zero confidence in the new Tyres. But what reasonably priced Tyres could I replace them with, assuming the global economy means a level playing field of supply and price?
Answers on a postcard.......
[oh and I do know that the word Tyres is not a proper noun - please tell Apple!!]
