    Cracking car, there's one where I work in black. It's definitely a car that looks best with a striking colour.

    Got the Irish plates on it today. VRT process totally painless and cost me exactly what I expected it to.

    What kind of tyre do you want? I would recommend Goodyear Eagle F1s or Pirelli P Zero, both from experience.

    I'm running Michelin PS4 on the back of mine and Kumho Ecsta Ku39 on the front that will be replaced soon with PS4's. Rate them above the F1's to be honest.

    Uniroyal Rainsport 3, great grip, soft, comfortable, very quite. Get them online delivered to you local tire fitter, will cost you about 110e per corner plus fitting.

    Seen brand new ones on DD for sale at 360 for 4x18 and 240 for 4x17, thats really cheap.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, amazing, better than above, but at 125e er corner, for me best on the market for usual Joe.

    If need something below 100e per corner Id go with Nexen Nfera SU4

    Check if they are run flats and Mercedes fit them to some of their models too.

    My Merc dealer had put Kumho Ecsta HS51 on the fronts, they are ok but I like Michellin primacy 3 more. I believe none of them are run flats but still they are on my C class.

    I would personally steer away from run flats, and Kumho and Michelins, they only look good on paper. Had both fitted in the cars before.

    Kumho are actually a good tyre but they wear quite quickly in my experience.

    And poor mileage. Usually D or E rating for fuel consumption.

    Agree with this, i've had a mixture of tyres on my ST, the stock Brigestone RE050, Kumho Ectsa KU39, Eagle F1 Asy 2 and 3, i recently put two Hankook Ventus Evo 2 on the front and i'd rate them as good if not even better that the Goodyears. The Bridestone were terrible, fronts only lasted 12k. Had Kumho Ectsa KU39 as well got 18k out of those. Goodyear were substantially better wear wise, i got 40k out of those once i rotated them, well see how the Hankooks go wear wise.

    I am thinking of getting Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 for rear side. Is it worth switching Kumho Ecsta to rear end and use the new Goodyear on front?
    My car is rear wheel drive, C class.

    I've got a set of Asy 3s on the back of my (rear wheel drive) E46 and I'm very happy with them, they're very reasonably priced, have excellent grip and they're not too loud. I'm not sure if they're the most economical but I always reckon these things are maybe 5-10 miles on a tank at most, I'd gladly sacrifice that for grip and quietness. You should always change tyres in pairs (i.e. change both sides even if only one side needs doing).

    The dealer took the run flats off them and replaced with those no name ones before selling. Might try those Uniroyals, thanks for the suggestions.
