Wheel/Tire suggestions, please?
Prior to ordering the Sport Pkg I had serious concerns about low-profile tires given our roads in the metro NY area.
I don't want to alter the suspension dynamics but wonder what 5 spoke 17" OEM wheels are available and what size tires would be compatible with our 4matic sport

17" wheels/tires
MB offers the Almach 5-twin spoke alloys in 17" and 18" sizes. If you search www.mercedes-benz.ca and click on to E Class, then click onto the "e-brochure", you will see several photos of these 5-twin spoke wheels.
I have seen these wheels mounted on various E Class and they look great. Very sporty and classy !
As for tires, check out Tirerack.com ; this site has lots of choices in 17" (245/45R 17") tires. The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is highly rated for summer or consider the Pilot Sport A/S for performance all seasons. My wife has had these for the past 4 years; they are a very good year round choice if you do not want the bother and expense of a separate set of snows.

If you go back to the Tirerack.com site, try clicking onto "optional size 17" for the 4Matic sport. You should then get a wide choice of tires in the 245/45R 17" size.
