Can anyone help me out, I was trying to do some research but only found this information below but there was no confirmation if anyone tried it.

"Talked to one of the techs at the dealership and said changing the size would cause issues on the 4matic models"

&

"4-matics require same diameter front and back to my understanding. Going staggered should be fine for 255/35-19 Front and 295/30-19 Rear as they are both 26.0" diameter (assuming 295 will fit your rim and wheel well)."


From this link;https://mbworld.org/forums/w218/6110...-go-wider.html

Also, if anyone can share their experience with the best high performance all season tire they use, I am leaning towards the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 but I have no experience buying all season tires. I have always hated anyone who would use all seasons but i do not want to deal with changing wheels in the winter.

Thanks guys.

I have the Pilot super sports 255/35/20 and 295/30/20 in rear..

I am getting a bit of rubbing from the fronts when i turn it all the way. I tried to shave off some of that fender lining but it still didnt help. So for now i have learnt to live with it unless someone has a suggestion.
