Such a wide selection....
I just picked up the black a few months ago and i had a chance to take it on some long road trips over the summer. The time has come where i need tires. i took a look on tire rack and they have a choice of 3. What is everyone putting on their cars?

I have tried Hankook tires in the past with other AMG vehicles and had great overall experience with them. It was the V700 series, if I recall correctly. Enjoy!

Michelin ?
I am running Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the Warrior and very satisfied.
I think Michelin's with their thin flexible side wall offer a better ride which comes in handy with a car having stiff suspension like the Black.
When I was at HRE a few years ago I was able to compare several tires and found a big difference in their sidewall construction. Pirelli had very stiff sidewalls, you could hardly bend them with your hands. Michelin Pilot had a much more flexible sidewall. I adjust the ride by adjusting tire pressure.
I'm not a big fan of hi tire pressures which make for a hard ride anyway.
Super Sports have a good reputation and are priced very reasonable.

Your tire choices are very limited unless you get bigger wheels. If you do get the Bridgestone RE-11's. I didn't like the Super Sports at all because the side wall is so soft my car wobbied all the time with aggressive driving.
