Michelin tires 4S or Super Sport size up

I apologize for the noob question but my W204 C250 Sports plus coupe needs new tires and I was wondering if I should get a size up Michelin tires. I have the OEM Pirelli p zero 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear with the 7 spoke AMG rims. I am thinking to purchase the 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. Do you think they will look / perform better? Also, someone mentioned to me that the piolt super sport were being phased out. Is the 4S tires a better tire?

I had a c350 coupe and went from the stock continental all seasons to super sports and noticed a big difference in cornering. Overall much better agility. As for as going from p zero to super sports all i know is that almost everyone i talk to prefers the super sports. The 4S is the replacement of the SS. Not too big of a difference but super sports will be harder to find in the future. The 4S is the best sport/performance tire out right now imo.

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely purchase the newest version then. In addition, the 4S are also not as noisy as the Super Sports according to most of the reviews. I will stick with the OEM tire size too. Apparently, everyone on the forum recommends the 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 and no reason to swap with the wider tire size. Thanks again.
