E55 AMG tires? what?
Hello:
What are and the size of the OEM/original tires installed on 2003-2004 E55 AMG? I'd like to get one for my W211-E500. I love the AMG wheels. They look neat, clean, and sporty.
Anyone here is using 18" AMG wheels? Does it reduce the ride comfort significantly or barely noticeable? Mine is 2004 E500, I am not sure if the Airmatic suspension will do a lot of help in here.
Thanks, and let me know.

The tires are Coni Sport Contact2 in 245/40 18 and 265/35 18. They are not great tires. I would try Eagle gs d3's or Potenza s-03's in the same sizes.

CSC2 really is beyond bad.
Had CSC2 on my M3 as well.
No grip in rain, marginal grip in summer. S-03 is by far the better tire.

I switched to pilot not long after I begin hydroplane in rain.
