I have just replaced the stock Contis with Pirelli Scorpion Zero in stock size. The contis have about 7500miles on them and they still have more than half the tread left.
The Pirelli is the other stock tires thatcould have come with the truck, difference is the Contis are summer and the Pirelli are all-season. I switched them because I don't want to do summer/winter tire swap.

30k km on the stock contis, lots of life left. I too put the Scorps on for winter. I think the Scorp Ice and Snow are a winter tire rather than an all season or am I mistaken?

This one, Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, in 295/40/20. It's one of the 2 OE tires spec-ed by AMG.

Scorpion Ice&Snow is the winter tire from Pirelli, but they don't make it in that size.

Scorpion Ice and Snow
They do! I have the Scorpion Ice and snow (295/40 20) on mine. They are great in the snow. We got a foot in the valley. Almost as good as the Blizzacks I had on the FX 45. They have the mountain (true snow) logo and all the siping. Ordered them in Sept and got them late October. Put them on the stock rims for winter. The cataloge you reference doesn't show them but they do exist in the 295 size.
