CLS 63 AMG PP Winter tires problem
I have problem finding winter tires for my CLS 63 AMG Perfomance Package. The car needs tires with speed code Y(300 km/h) or at least W(270 km/h) but only the summer tires are with these codes. The sizes for this car are 255/35 19 and 285/30 19. I am looking for Pirelli Sottozero Serie II and Michelin Pilot Alpin but they are both with speed code V(240 km/h). With what tires are you driving in the winter because I cant find something better?

I have studded Hakkas for my GLK and have used them for many, many years on my BMWs. I've run Michelins on all my non-SUV Mercedes, but for ultimate performance in winter, go with Hakkas if you can find a fit.

Speed code V is fine. You won't track your car on winter tires anyway. I've been driving on Sottozero for 2 winters with my CLS63 and on Nokian for 3 winters prior with a C63. Depending on where you live, you may want to go with the same size for all four wheels.
