Pretty sure you can only go up to 275 on the rear on stock rims without causing issues with ESC/rubbing/fitment etc.

Hey mate am currently using 285/30 but only offered on all season tires. comfort is a lot better but handling is no good a little soft. i would still choose handling all day. they only offer summer performance tires ( NON RUN FLATS ) on 285/35 and 295/30.
I know there's sedan owners here posted somewhere using 285 and 295 on stock wheel. I need to find out the exact series.

Why do you want to go runflats? - Get the PS4S, you will never look back.

My thought exactly...

Our other car is a W205 C250 with AMG Pack.

It has 19" wheels with conti run flats and its terrible when going over any kind of bump on the road.

Thinking of replacing the run flats with normal tyres and get some comfort back in the car.

Michelin does now offer a Pilot Super Sport in 285/30/19 (98Y) MO1. They just released it at the beginning of this month! I just installed a set on the rear of my Black Series. It’s a Mercedes specific tire.

Check out my thread for more info.

295s on a 9.5 inch wheel is way too wide. You can put as wide of a tire as you want on a wheel, but it is the wheel that influences the tread contact patch. In this case, the wheel isn't wide enough to utilize that wide of a tire which is why you see the sidewall bulging out.

not sure but i think 285/30 (25.8) diameter is closer to 255/35 (26) and 285/35 is (27) and 295/30 is equal to 255/35 both (26)

You can run 285 on stock rear rims for the sedan with no issue.

For me, I think I'll go with (F/R) 255/35-19 and 285/35-19. By the the book, that's the widest for each rim width and the diameter's are pretty close to stock (taller by 0.2"/0.6" respectively). It's always better to go taller, because your odometer will go up slower. And as the tire wears down, it'll wear down closer to the stock height.
