Question about tire size

Hey guys, I have a question to ask regarding tire sizes..... I have a 09 C300 and looking for winter tires to put on my OEM rims. I came across a pair of 215/55/17 Michelin X-ICE and I wanted to know if these will fit for my fronts. I will have to grab another pair for the rear, just wanted to see if its worth grabbing them. Thanks

Another round of ICE
Check the tire size calculator at 1010tires.com. 215/50-17 is comparable in overall diameter to the OE size. I think the 55 series ones you found have too tall a sidewall, therefore too large a diameter/circumference. Their calculator will let you know if its within their 6% guideline.
