I have a Mercedes SLK with 18" low profile wheels with cheapo tyres on which let go rather badly on a wet corner so I toddled down to National Tyres and had new fronts fitted for £215- I was desperate
These were Barums- made by Continental who are OEM for Mercs
very happy with the grip and the longevity so far.
needed two more for the back and found that you can buy the same tyre with fittings balancing valves and disposal for £165 (same thing entirely) on ebay
Wifes C class needed two new tyres so I got four Barums fitted and got the same cheap deal buying them through national tyres on line - same fitting shop, same tyre fitter same tyres
I have two Continental 195-65-R15-91V if anyone is after a bargain - almost as new with over 5mm tread left- I love the Barums that much I brough the wife a set too!- ahhhh theres love for you!
