New Tires
As a result of my valet mishap, the claims adjuster advised that I needed to replace one of my tires. With 17k+ on them now, I figured it's time to replace all 4.
I live in South Florida, so ice and snow are not factors...at least not yet! ;-)
I have Continentals now which came with the vehicle. It has been recommended that I strongly consider the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S-3's.
Was told these provide a very comfortable ride and excellent traction.
Anyone have experience with these pups?

Conti takeoffs
Can't help with the Pilot Sports but if you decide to put on another pair of Conti's, I've got a set of 18s taken off my 2014 CLS with about 100 miles on them. I went with a 19 rim instead. You may have them CHEEEEAP; they're taking up space in the garage.
All the best,
Scott

I went ahead and had the Pilots installed this afternoon. What an amazingly comfortable and quiet ride vs the Continentals. The Continentals were marketed as providing a much softer ride than the Pirelli's...which was the Mercedes dealers other offering at the time I made my purchase.
The Pilots are also said to be very sticky providing excellent handling. Time will tell, but right now I'm loving them!

I think Contis. His pain was posted in a few separate threads.
Bigigg, hope things are better now with higher inflation pressure and more potholes repaired in our area.

Where are you located? I might be able to take those tires off your hands.

Scott hope you complete the second part of your sale like you were hoping initially.
