Tire Recommendation
I need to get new tires for my 2001 S500, which is 100% STOCK, what tires and size would you recommend I put on it. Any help will be appreciated.

S500/W220/2000
I run 245/45WR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 XL, front, and 275/40YR-18 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, back, and cannot recommend them more highly. They are fantistic tires, especially for our older W220s. They are excellent on all dimensions--ride, handling, wet, quiet, etc. I even drove w/ them on snow and ice and lived to tell about it. You might want a winter tire too, depending on where you live. I put a set of 225/60QR-16 Michelin X-Ice on my OEM wheels for that, and love them!
