Snow Tires for 2012E350 coupe - Any suggestions?

Hey Folks...got another question...I'm looking to buy some snow tires for my 2012 E350 Coupe...I have old 17 inch rims from my old S500 and looking to get some 17 inch snow tires...Anyone recommend some tires that they have had success? Also, can I get the same size for all 4 tires?

Are you sure that a 17" wheel will fit the 2012 E Coupe?? It has been my understanding from reading this forum that anything less than 18" will not provide adequate clearance for the brakes. I don't have first hand knowledge but it is my recollection from previous postings.

Here is the link to the thread to which I was referring. You may be OK with an E350 but they weren't very sure, seemed to depend on whether you had the AMG package. You may want to try a fitting before you invest in new rubber.

Thanks...I went to my mechanic for an oil change and I brought one of the rims to try...It went on with no issues and there was plenty of clearance for the calipers...We spun the wheel and looked at how close the rim came to the caliper and there was plenty of room...Does that mean I'm in the clear? I called the Parts Dept of my local MB dealership and he said that 17inchers would work...He gave me 245/45/17 as the size to get...
