Pete,

Thanks for confirming my suspicisons (see thread I started just above this
one). Looks like saving a couple of bucks by dropping the speed-rated
tires cost me in the long run.

I'm using H rated Contis on my Benz and find them fully the equal of the
many previous sets of Michelins. Car is also equipped with optional but
not
publicized factory trailer towing springs and custom receiver hitch.
Supposedly H raters have a stiffer sidewall and somewhat softer tread
compound. You can really feel a difference in handling and ride. I'm using
a
good grade of "trailer" tires on both my trailers which weigh between 2100
and 2500 lbs. gross.
