Just had the front wheels on my '94 164 equipped with some nice Pirelli
5000 Dragos. Steering improved 100% to the old Goodyears. More precise,
lighter and of course more grip (the goodyears lacked some profile), 
Today my wife had an almost accident avoiding a big Tractor. Without the
new tyres she would have had a collision. Now she steer into the side of
the road, meanwhile braking, and going through some bush. Some minor
scratches on the paint.
