Riken tires from Autotire

I have a 1999 Mercedes CLK 430 with 17" wheels.

If you look around the forums, this car has a reputation for eating up expensive tires. Particularly because this car has staggered set wheels with directional tires.

No rotating.

Well, I really did not want to spend 1,000-$1,500 per set every 10,000 miles.

The guys at Autotire hooked me up with Riken tires. At first I though they were no name, but it turns out they are owned by Michelin.

They cost just under $500, installed (for all four).

My last set lasted 23,000 miles, which is huge for this car.

I would recommend checking out this brand.
