GO for it. Make sure they have decent tread on them first. I got a set back in May that were no name bobo brand. I bought 4 for $125 and they were still almost new. Drive them for a few months until you save up for new ones. Remember Brand new tires in that size of most brands are over $100 each. If they are in good shape and have a good amount of tread left on them, you don't have to worry about buying new tires for a few months to a year, depending on how much tread is left on them.

Thanks Critical, I e-mailed the guy for some pictures, he is about 40 miles from me. I really dont need them as my E only has 17,000 miles on the original tires, but I was thinking these might make the ride better and at that price for name brand tires I figure I cant go too wrong. dave

absolute go for 'em. I have run that tire on two of my cars good value and a hell of a lot quieter than those wranglers you'll run bald in 24,000 miles. You may not get 50,000 miles out of 'em but I've paid $79-$119 each for those, by the way, factory from Mercedes Benz, Conti contact2's
