Hmm, interesting. The 2014 E550 had a factory option for staggered 19" wheels and the description on the configurator shows as follows:
--
19-inch 5-double-spoke wheel
Finish: Himalaya Grey
Tire Size: 8,5 J x 19 ET 48
Wheel Size: 245/35 R19 XL
Option for rear axle:
Finish: Himalaya Grey
Tire Size: 9,5 J x 19 ET 48
Wheel Size: 275/30 R19 XL

That suggests there is a tire out there at 245/35R19 and 275/30R19 that is within load rating spec by Mercedes. I just can't find anything on Tire Rack or Discount Tire that matches what my 18's have which is 97Y. After pointing out that there is a factory option at those sizes, one of the service reps at my local Americas Tire is checking with their headquarters on what they can do. Their system is red flagging the 245/35 and 275/30 but all the manual calculations he has done based on the gross weight, etc show things are fine at 93Y F and 96Y R. He's supposed to get back to me later today.

If this for staggered setup; what are the suggestions for non-staggered ones?
Resurrecting an old thread again; 19" wheels; what are the suggested tire sized for 4Matic, 2014; and which brand of tires for all-season.
Thanks.

He's absolutely correct. You should get atleast 8.5 width on the Front for 255/35. Just in case you wanna keep your F 8" width, you can run 245/35 instead to match your 275/30 on the rear.

Just purchased a set of 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 inch wheels and have a set of 255/35/19 tires from an old set of wheels laying around. Can I use these tires on the new wheels with no problems? Vehicle is a 4-matic.
