Correct Tire Size ML350 4MATIC 2009
Tire size indicated on driver' door B-Pillar for Mercedes Benz W164 is 255/50 R19, but currently tires on my car is 255/55 R19 (5mm more difference on tire height). As far as i know, more aspect ratio means more confort on rough roads, but wrong tire size will affect more fuel consumption and gradually will damage internal parts. Question here is, what problems i may face with this 5mm more aspect ratio on the tire. Should i replace as per manufacturing recommended size or buy again 55mm on order to ride the car confort ?

Follow manufacturer instructions. It is a good balance between handling, safety, comfort, and mileage. Also, the second number in a tire size (sidewall) is not a measurement in mm, but it is the percentage from the tire width. Example, 295/35 and 265/35 do not have the same sidewall height. If you run four tires with the same size, it might not cause damage immediately. Difference in tire radius will affect speed reading.
