w124 estate which tyre

[Bigalshakespeare]

Hello Everyone.
I am looking for a mid range or high end budget all season tyre suitable for the w124 estate (pref extra load). I want decent grip in all weathers, longevity at a competitive price. Any recommendations please?

I have used Goodyear NCT5s for a few years on my W124 230E salon,and find them a good, mid-priced tyre. I recently paid £47 each at Elite Tyres. They have a very good website, with very good details of prices etc. The price is all in, walk away price. I find the tyre quite quiet and gives a good ride. No need for budget tyres at this price, although I think they are due to be replaced soon. One still sees them as factory fitted to many cars, inluding Fords.
Funny thing is this is my third set. First set made in France, then Germany, now .....China. Still Sony are made in China and Airbus are producing there soon.
I get about 24k out of a set, with mainly townish use. I swop front to back etc at about 11-12k.
