When I originally contacted Luke, I wanted Michelin PS2's for summer and Blizzak's for winter tires. He said they would be okay on my car, but that the cheaper Goodyear's and Michelin X-Ice tires would be better on my S500. I had no sense he was trying to rip me off. In fact I had just the opposite feeling about his recommendations, and found his superior knowledge of our cars and the best fit of tires and wheels for MB's to be very reassuring. And sure enough he was right! I am still enjoying all the tires and wheels he recommended, and could not be more pleased w/ The Tire Rack's goods and service.

I have no sense that the new Discount Tire company and forum know diddly-squat about wheels and tires let alone what works best w/ all of our Mercedes Benz cars. Hell, they haven't even identified a moderator for the forum. What's up w/ that??
