Tires for S550 4matic AMG package
I have ordered a 2007 S550 4matic with the AMG package. Has anyone got one or seen one who can tell me:
Does it have staggered tire size?
What are the sizes of the tires?
What brands are they using?
Are they highperformance all season or just summer?
What does anyone think of all season ultra high performance for winter?
Do most of you just get winter tires mounted on extra set of wheels?
I think MBUSA sight may not be accurate answers to these questions.
Thanks for the help.

From MBUSA.com:
2007 Packages
321 AMG Sport Package
The spirit of performance takes form in the S-Class AMG Sport Package. An aggressive AMG-designed front air dam tames the wind, sending it past sculpted, lower side sills and around a seductively styled rear apron.
This package also includes huge, staggered-width 19" AMG 5-spoke light alloy wheels wrapped in 255/40 R19 tires in front, and asphalt-grabbing 275/40 R19 high-performance rubber in back. If you're looking to further accentuate the athletic personality of your S-Class, the AMG Sport Package is the answer. *
* High-Speed Rated tires provide substantially increased tread wear and reduced ride comfort compared to H rated tires. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles.

It's a real mess if they put 'H' rated tires on the S-Class in US. These are very underrated for an S-Class. In Europe no one gets under 'W' rating for such cars. You have the most creamy roads but don't get real performance tires.

I have called MBUSA (800-FOR-MERC) several times and they are usually very helpful. One thing they can do, is to pull up your VIN and tell you about all of the installed options. They are probably short-staffed over the weekends, but there has to be somebody there in order to deal with the roadside emergencies.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum!

Here is the pdf. to be sure. Have a look at page 16 of 36.

Unfortunately staggered tires are not available for 4MATIC S-Class. It is surprising that they put them on the ML but not on the S.

"...without the proper diameter tires the 4-matic system can easily be damaged which would be a very expensive mistake and not something I would recommend. There are some cars (i.e. E55 4m, Porsche C4, etc.) the are all wheel drive with staggered wheels and tires but, their electronics and all wheel drive systems were designed with that in mind unlike yours ... I would go with 18x8 / 245/40-18 or 235/40-18__________________

Yes using a staggered set of tires on a 4-matic S class will eventully distroy the gears that drive the wheel/tires. Audi's w/quattro are the same.
