Considering that my last set (Continental ContiSports 2's) only lasted around 11,000 miles, I went cheap and went for the General UHP's (now made my Continental). I am running stock rims 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rears. I will keep you updated after the install (going to do some smoky burnouts on the old tires before replacing!). All told, my cost was $390 + $50 shipping - $50 rebate = $390 net! Holy moly these were cheap. Does anyone have experience with these tires (good, bad, ugly)? For this price, I have nothing to loose!

Also any other W209 owners out there with issues with the front tires wearing out on the outer edge?

BTW, I was a restaurant (small hole in the wall Japanese) and the UPS guy came in and delivered some aggressive tires while I was having lunch. I asked the owner what he drove and he said C63 AMG; he only get's 4,000 miles per rear set!
