Help! Need some advice on tires!
Hey what's up everyone,
Last week I blew out my front tire due to an unexpected, not to mention idiotic pothole. I was going to go buy a replacement the following day, but I figured I might as well replace all of them since the tread is getting low. I have Continental Extreme Contact tires. What's an excellent all season ultra high performance tire you guys would recommend. I'm thinking about plus sizing my tires some more. I have 245/45/18 on the front and 275/40/18 rear.
Would 255/45/18 and 295/40/18 front, rear work without messing up anything? Thanks guys.

2005 SL55, 2000 CL500
CL Tires
I went to the Michelins after 2 sets of Conti`s
The Conti`s seem to "cup up" quicker on the rear and need more rotating.
Like every 2500 miles.
And total life was about 12K on the first set and
10 K on the second. Forgot to rotate and started getting
wheel hop at 70MPH on the second set. Nasty feeling for the CL.
The Michelins every 5000 rotate seems fine.
Once between service visits
Already have 12K miles on them
And I think I will get 20K out of them.
Thats real good for a heavy CL500.
