Winter Tires for 2004-CLK
I am shopping for winter tires for my 2004 CLK-320 Coupe. I plan to use my stock wheels for the winter, so I have no choice but to use the exact staggered sizes.
Front: 205/55-16
Rear: 225/50-16
I really prefer Michelin Alpin-Pilot PA2 but they do not make 225/50-16. What should I do? Any ill effects if I use 215/60-16, 205/60-16, 215/55-16, 225/55-16 or 205/50-16 in the rear?

Winter tyres
Hi there no ill effects at all I purchased new Amg 18" wheels & put winters on the car & usually run them for up to 6Months from Nov through to April [UK]
My brother & I work together & he usually uses his ML in winter & I have been able to follow & keep up with him in up to 18" of snow . He wasnt Impresed but I was fair chuffed see no real need for a 4x4.
Regards
Alex
