I'd be interested in feedback on these too, saw them in one of the car mag's and was curious if the build would remedy my shred situation

Yeah this is a decent take, and there are a few others. A lot is marketing but take a listen.

That's what I have read.
I'm just not happy with pirelli and my last set of michelin pilots. They were new on my car and are bad in rain. It looks like I'm going to get 10 k out of them and they plow on dry pavement. Maybe that is your sidewall problem as they break side to side.
Anyway this will be my next tire. I'm thinking 25k miles which is well worth it.

I ended up going with Conti DWs as seen a year ago in the thread. I've got close to 20k in them ad I've been pleased. Don't need anything more aggressive and never wanted for anything different along the way.
I recently ordered a replacement set of DWs rom Tirerack for around $900 so they've gotten to be an even better deal since the first. Time around. Rears are pretty well used up as expected but fronts have life.

Mercedes CL63 AMG
So I need some advice. I have about 10k miles on my 2012 CL63 and the rear tires Continental Conti are pretty much done. The fronts however still have about half of the tread left. My question is has anyone on here run different tires in the front and rear? Is this a safe setup? How does it affect the performance of the car? I've gotten mixed answers from various tire shops. I would really like to try out the Pirelli p zeros if this sort of setup would work.

Need to keep the tire diameters the same or very close to satisfy the stability electronics, other than that it can work, although I expect you may not like the result depending on your guess of the mix. The tire makers would most likely advise to stay with a matched set for multiple reasons. I would get a new set.

CL550 & CL55 AMG
Tires
CL55 AMG and CL550 tire experience
All season
Bridgestone Potenza 970 AS Pole Position -yessss
Sticky, quiet, good wear {400AA} nice ride
Drove on P Zero Nero (good not great)
Dunlop - terrible (wear, noisy, traction)
Hankook - cheap in all that that word connotes - great for first half then very noisy - rapid uneven wear despite correct setup
Michelin tires good but there is a premium to be paid for the name when other comparables avail for less $$
