Tires for ML55

I am searching on tire rack, discount tire direct etc. and am unable to
find tires for my 2000 ML55. The tire size is 285 50 18.
Anyone knows who carries tires in this size.
Thks

Are you sure it's not 17 inch tires?

Check out Continental sport contact tires on their website. Amazing tires and you will find your size

Did you find any? What did you wind up doing? Needing to put some new ones on and trying to find some good options and what others have done.

Did you get a diff size or diff rims? Do you like the new look and ride?

Thanks

Unfortunately both the links you have posted no longer have these tires available. If you insist on staying with 285/50r18 then you may have to source used...search craigslist, granted its a very rare tire, but there are some sellers for instance:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/wto/5241146717.html

http://cnj.craigslist.org/pts/5192047030.html (seller said he will be willing to let go for $800 picked-up...)

Agreed that both links show no go... also I've reviewed tires-easy and would not recommend giving them the opportunity to hold your money hostage while they give you the run around. Google them for your self and make your own decision. What about bumping to a 285/55/18? Any one done this? Let us know...

I just went through the same search for tires for my 02 ml55 amg. I ended up going with continental 255/55r18 and couldn't be happier. Truck rides so much smoother than the crappie pirelli p zeros that came on it. I highly recommend them.

I believe it's a little under a inch. I really didn't notice tho. I couldn't tell a difference from the stock size visually.
