What tire did your car originally come with?

I got the Michelin Pilot Sports but I noticed some had Continentals as well. I don't think there is a reliable way to know which car will come with which tire...

I think al German builds come with Continental.... all my MB's has come with Conti's.... Now i have Michelins on my 19" and i like the Michelin's more than the Conti's

I have Continental ProContact on my 17" C300.
The 18" AMG all come with Continental SportContact3's.
The 17's whether on the 300 or 350, SA or German build, come with either Michelin Pilot HX's or Conti ProContacts.

Unless you upgraded to the 18" wheels, I believe they just take whatever they have laying around to be honest.... I've seen luxury models and sport models both with continentals and michelins that were all german builds.
For the record, I have michelins and a continental spare! !?!?!?

I believe that factory option 18" AMG wheels from Germany came with Conti's. If the dealer added the 18's and an Accessory they had an option to go with Contis' or Michelin's. That might be the discrepancy here. Not sure about S.A. build cars and what they came with.
Mine is a German build with factory option 18's and they cam with conti's

My September '07 build C300 came with 17" Contis which were removed before delivery when I bought '18s and installed Bridgestone RE-050As. i sold the unused Contis on Craigslist (with great difficulty) for $275 and glad to get it.

I have the Michelin's on my German built C350, and I am very happy. almost 18,000 miles on them and still almost no sign of wear.
