    Picked up a c220 recently and need some tyres soon, went to my tyre fella and he said he has continental for €100 or hankook for €130
    He said they are both good tyres and Mercedes recommend hankook and so would he

    So what ones do I go for

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Find out the exact model name for each tyre, and check out

    http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk or similar websites

    It'll be hard to tell you which to get, without knowing the model of tyre.

    Continental are usually dearer the hankook. Again there are many models, but hankook are an upper mid range brand (they’re an OE supplier to the likes of Hyundai and Kia) where Continental is a premium brand

    If you can get continentals in that size for €100 then buy them all.

    Thought will update you guys.

    I am on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. These tyres are the best so far. It feels like car is gliding, and a very good control on rainy days.

    I was using Michellin primacy 3 before, they were bumpy and not as smooth as Goodyear.
