Tire size alternative for a 2003 ML55 AMG
I currently have Nitto tires 285/50/18 and I will need to replace them soon. I just found out that they do not make tires of the same size anymore. Can anyone please advice the safest and best value alternative. I do not need to have the top of the line. I do not drive more than 90 mph. Thank you for your suggestions.

Based on your driving, go with 285/55 18s.

slightly taller (will fill in your wheel-well nicely) and V-rated for your suv.
