Howdy peeps.

I'm going to need four tyres soon. As much as I'd like four of Michelin's finest I'm finding it hard to justify the price of £250 per corner.

Handling isn't high on my list of priorities but quietness is and good controll in the wet.

The tyre size is 245/45/18. Also forgot to mention that the car is **** heavy.

It's currently running on Michelin Pilot Sports on the front and Bridgestone Turanza's on the back. I quite like the look of Kumho Ecsta's or what ever they are called.

Any suggestions?

We've got Dunlop SP Sport 01s on the CLS and they're quiet, comfy and handling is good too. Even though the rears are super wide I don't think they were that expensive.
