What Tyre Manufacturers?

Hi, so I need a full set of tyres for my CLS55 AMG, currently running Pirelli's.

I'm wondering whether to try another manufacturer, has anyone tried any others and can advise on benefits or downfalls?

Thanks
Ian

You don't say the year of the car so you should update your profile so we know. I have a 2006 cls55 amg and I use Bridgestone Potenzas that are built specifically for the car (look for the MB on the tire). Tire wear is good as long as I raise the suspension and the car handles like its on rails.

always recommend michelins. i have pilot super sports. they wear a little faster but i don't mind since i put only a couple hundred miles a month on the car. michelin pilot sport a/s 3 is the best bet for longevity though if you drive a lot.
