No it won't. The Michelins require a round wheel instead of an elliptical one.

No. Since they are integrated into the tires you will need to make sure you get the correct tires; ones that are MB specific for computer readability.

You don't have to get the same exact tires that came with the car. You can get Michelin Pilot Sports which are way better then those Conti's that MB supplied us with.
