For W215 CL.....285/30? Lots of room in that fender with 19's, even with a bit of lowering. Someone got a picture? Thanks in advance....

Yes you also have to make sure that your overall diameter for front and rear tire cannot be off by more than 3% I believe or your car will go into limp mode. Tell me what brand tires and exact sizes for frot and rear and I will check if it will work.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in size 285/35/19 -- .6% speed difference compared to OEM size, shown on factory wheels.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a street tire that grips better than this and that won't get you killed if it rains. It's a favorite among C6 Corvette owners since they also have 19s stock. You can feel more power being put down before the traction control intervenes.

X2 RE-11's are an incredible tire. They are quiet, comfortable, grip great both wet and dry. They will have flat spots when you take off after the car sits for a few hours but it smooths out in a mile or two. I just wish they made them in 20"
