New shoes ordered for my ML550!

I finally went ahead and ordered new tires for my 2013 ML550. The OEM tires that came with the car, Pirelli Verde All-season are horrible. Only 21K miles on my car and they are bald!!

This time i went with the same tire that is on my buddys Porsche Cayenne GTS, Michelin Latitude Tour HP. My stock tire is 265/45/20, and i went a little bigger to 275/45/20. I'll post some pictures once my dealership throws them on, but for now, enjoy a picture of my rim

PS: Best car care products I've used have been Adams Polishes. They are very suburb quality. The tire shine does not sling off the tire and onto the lower bumper of the car. And its waterproof. It typically lasts me 4-6 days with a deep wet look.

To me the matt sheen is MUCH preferred. That includes any dressing on the interior surfaces.

Swissvax is also very good. I have used it, and i think its a great product. update: got the tires in yesterday, and dropped them off at the dealership. I'll post some pictures once i get the car back...i'm having some other things looked at also so i guess i won't have my truck for the long weekend

Update. Still haven't gotten my truck back. Its been almost 10 days since i've dropped it off. My tech ended up having to order new cats for the ML and also an air nozzle because i was not getting any air out of the left drivers side nozzle. I wonder how those cats went bad........

What happens when you go from 265/45/20 to 275/45/20? I'm in the market and wondering about the ride difference and anything I should know by going 275

I have a 13' ML550 with the 20" AMG wheels. I've used 275/45 Pirelli winters(amazing snow tire by the way) and just switched to 275/45 conti extreme contact DWS's after 28k miles on the original conti's. I only have a few thousand miles on them so far but I'm happy. They look great and handle well.

I was in the same boat. I Went with 275's and i love my Michelins. Go for it if you want a little more bigger looking tire.
