What tyres on a Mercedes S280 - Rojer
I\'m told by everyone, including Honest John that the S-Class wears tyres quickly, especially on the front. Typically 6,000, 9,000 or 12,000 depending on who you ask.

Which ones do folk recommend? They are 245/60 somethings.

In the past I\'ve found myself changing tyres on my old 190E because of things other than general wear (rips, tears, bulges, cracking etc) and so I\'m not always sure about spending X% more on a tyre where x > 70% of the difference in cost to a \'regular\' tyre and life of tyre in miles is a 100% increase.

The chances are that it\'s not going to make 18,000 or 20,000 miles anyway.

But, open to suggestion ...
