2012 E550 Coupe
I concur. Straight line wheel spin can be controled even with stock tires, but IMHO a bit less so in more powerfull 2012 E550. However, when accelerating hard out of the corner (even in my relatively "underpowered" 2010 E550) back wanted to come around every time on stocks. I removed stocks soon after delivery and am happy with results - 275/30-19 and 265/30-20(intentionally used higher diameter to "control" wheel spin, which it does).
The fix was to use some ECU hack program to reprogram the tire diameter.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
ronsc, I've done that "trick" on many different MB cars. No issues. Also ran 1" taller diameter on Supra. No issues. The only "issue" was that my actual speed was a bit greater than my speedo was showing, which potentially may put one on a border line of getting a speeding ticket.
