new ML63 AMG owner from canada - What tires!

Hey guys
I recently picked up a 2008 ML63 AMG
I came from an FX45
Before that IS300 and Miata and 240sx.

I have the 20'' AMG rims, and I wanted to pick up the 2009'' 20'' rims for SUMMER wheels.. so i was gunna put some winter tires on my original 5 spoke AMG wheels.

Any suggestions ?
I want a tire that has a high speed rating, non of that 160km B/S.

WHat are you guys using for the winter and the summer?

Im not a big fan of All seasons as I tend to drive aggressive.

What summers do you have?
how long have you had them?
would you buy them again?
how much did they cost
how do they performance/handling/grip
how is the sound
how is the ride
how are they in the wet
how are they during braking


What winter tires do you have?
how long have you had them?
would you buy them again?
how much did they cost
how do they performance/handling/grip
how is the sound
how is the ride
How is the traction in snow
how is the braking


I Just want to hear some of you ML owners opinions so I learn from your trial and error!

luckily I made the right choices on my FX45 with Prada Spec-x for summer and Blizzak DM-v3 for winter so the car always felt its best..

MY ML63 currently has 50% all seasons which make the car ride like crap.....
I need to change these tires this week!!

The UHP cross contacts that come on the care are crap and super heavy at 38lbs each. I upgraded to the Continental DWS tires which ride MUCH softer, handle better, have more grip and weigh 3lbs less at 35lbs each. It's a great choice for direct replacement ...

If you get wider wheels you can run 315/35/20s pilot super sports for a ton more grip

When I picked up my used 2007 last Christmas it came with the Pirellis and they worked great all winter. So I think you made a good choice. Good luck!

Hopefully it snows in Toronto so I can actually put them to use!!!


Yea the trucks are super fun!! i thought it would be a little bit faster but then again im a speed demon so..
But i defintely love the vehicle !

Just ordered some Weathertech digital fit floor matts adn rain visors!
cant wait for them to come in!
I always get them on all my vehicles that are daily driven

How do you guys think these pirellis are on the highway speeds around 140km?
seems a little rough but its bareably i suppose.

I'm super jealous of your 09' summer OEM AMG wheels! ive been looking for a set since I picked up my 07'

At a 140km you'll hear some road noise but not much. I do a lot of 407 driving, so it might be slightly louder on a rougher highway. My Pirelli snows are a season old. Solid tires, I have them on my Jeep SRT8 too...
