If they are available in your size, I like the BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport All Season. I have them on my car and think they work great.

+1. Just put these on my 89 and I love them. Same sizes as you. Great feel and stability. Only $97 per tire at Costco (dont laugh) and Costco didn't pull that bull butter on me that some other tire shops do - "well, sir because your tires are not all the same size we have to cut the tire warranty in 1/2.". 45k warranty which is more than I will ever need driving 2k/year, tires will dry rot before I get near that mark. Tires literally were manufactured by BFG 3 weeks before install, so none of this putting 3 year old "new" tires on your car like some other tire shops do. Can you tell I'vebeen burned? ��. Go Costco!

I love my RE-11s also but it's kind of a stretch implying they're great for "all weather".

DW is a summer tire. The DWS is an all season tire. I have the DWS on my C300 and they are vastly superior to the stock MB Tires. I would think they would be good on a 921 as well.

I agree with Chris. Potenza RE760 ordered thru Costco Mounted & balanced on wheels only no vehicle. Good ride quality, very little noise and good handling wet & dry.

Conti DWS (not the new DWS 06). I have them on my wagon which is a daily in New York and sees all types of weather. They always feel planted even when brand new.

Have to agree on the Continental DWS. I am running the first set on my daily driver currently and it is just a great, stable, reasonably priced tire...oh and the tread wear is far superior to GY Eagle GTs, which is what I replaced w/ the DWS'.
