Save your money
pilot A/S are not recommended on the w210's. You would not want 275's for the rear if you could get snows in 275's.
Get a set of w210 16 inch rims cheap and some 215/55/16 winter tires for about $100 each from tire rack or costco.Keep your foot out of it for the winter and you will be able to go in the snow and still find chains that you can chain up all four if the going gets real bad.
besides a 245 on a 35 et.Might pose problems on the front since your E55 runs 245's on a 30 or 31 et,correct?
you should be able to wheel up in good winter tires and some road rashed 16's for less than the above 600 bucks and you won't be going on mr. Toads wild ride
if a Nor'easter hits.

I also dissed Conti's in favor of Michelins. The Conti's were harder and always felt like having developed sort of a 'flat spot' the first few km's after the car was parked overnight.

Mercedes issued
a TSB about the pilot a/s and issues involved with keeping the car in spec alignment wise.
If you check with the dealer they will give you details on the tsb.
