Re: which tires are best? 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Guid on  Fri May 18 07:06 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My '88 240DL is wearing the Firestone FT70c. A great rain tire, and quiet too. It also quelled the 240's tendency to hang its tail out under throttle in the wet. So far, I've logged over 40,000 miles on these with no problems, and they appear to be wearing very well.

A slightly more sporting alternative is the Bridgestone BT70s. They both use the same type of compound and rain dispersion (both being made by Bridgestone/Firestone). I'm planning on trying this one on my 740 when it's time.

Either tire would be reasonably priced.

I agree with the recommendation of the Michelin X-One, also. I'm told it's an excellent tire, but slightly more expensive.
