tire rack
i just ordered and received some Continental 245/40R18 Pure Contact XL load range V speed rated tires for the missus E350 4Matic.
that was the top rated tires in Consumer Reports Nov 2012 issue , page 61 .
Until 10 June or so I get a $ 100 rebate from Continental/ Tire Rack .
I paid $ 684 for those tires plus shipping of $ 58.60
It cost me $ 113 to get them mounted on the rimless machine at our local porsche/benz/bmw specialty shop.
my net cost is $ 755.60 for some specialty tires .
I would have been at a cost of over $ 1000 if I used Schwab/Discount Tire/America's for the equivalent Michelins which she has on there now .
An excellent tire with 99 mph speed rating for RV use is the Continental Vanco 2 . Those are eligible for the $ 100 rebate currently also .
Tha Vanco 2 is the best choice for replacing 15 inch ST tires . The load weight rating is higher than the ST tires and they are 99mph rated instead of the 65 mph rating.
Add that to the $ 100 rebate and this is clearly the best buy for RV usage .
