What tires do you have on your c-class?

I have the best tires made on both my MB's, Riken Raptors, rim protectors, cool looking pattern, and priced reasonably ($387 OTD (tax, balance, mounting) for C7 wheels, $420 for staggered wheels on my 2004.5 C230)

07 C230 Sport Sedan Orion Blue
Right now I just have the stock Sport wheels on them. Does anybody know what brand they are????
I also have an 05 Nissan Altima which I was planning on driving this winter and parking the Benz but after driving the Benz the Altima isn't the same. I am going to sell it and buy winter tires for my Benz. I was thinking of the Nokian Hakkapellittas (sp?) because I have heard they are good. Any advice on winter tires from people who are unfortunate like to me have to drive through lots of snow and ice? Thanks!

I like the Eagle F1 for performance, I'm trying the General UHP for longer life and they seem to be holding up well. I hate Continental because every set I have had has worn uneven and made the car handle terrible and start pulling like the alignment was out. Changed the tires and the problem went away. One note General tires I believe is part of Continental.

Pilot Sports, front set is from when I bought the car new (July, 04). Replace the rear set around 30k miles. Currently the car is at 50K miles. I think I'll have to replace them (All 4 tires) in couple of months.
I love Pilot Sports, but they are so expansive. I will either go with Pirelli or Falken for my next set of tires.

BFG G-Force KDW's. Great price, great dry & wet traction, great hydroplane resistance, fantastic feel while cornering (stiff sidewalls), sound like Monster Mudder 4x4 tires while riding down the highway.

I replaced the Pilot Sports that still had about 3~4mm of tread left on each tire.
The PSports were noisy and terrible in the wet (they're pretty well worn I guess).
The Goodyears solved the problem... the car now rides more like a Mercedes should.

I have one side question,
if I want to change all four,
can i use the same size,
not like factory, 225/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear
can i use just 225/45/17 or I can't
I know Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's isn't good for winter,
but can i still drive with those in winter,
i'm in NYC.
