Tire Confusion

I am looking to get new tires for my 06 MCS. I currently have the stock runflats. I am looking for something quiet, all-season, but also has to handle good. I drive about 140 miles every day (back and forth to work) mostly freeway, but I do like to get some curvy driving in when I can.

Advice?

Also, I'd much rather buy and have them installed at the same place (vice buying online, having them shipped to me, and then taking them somewhere else to get installed).

Thanks in advance!
Dave

You can search locally or talk to car clubs in your area.

Search for threads on All Season tires at NAM- there are many.

Dave check out the new Yokohama AVID W4s I think this will suit your driving needs. Tire Rack tested http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....Model=AVID+W4S and it came in first place by a pretty good margin.

thanks...I'll look into them. I'm also eyeing the KUMHO ecsta AST's and the AVON M500 (I think that's them anyway). Who knows.
