Do I have the right tires on my S550 w/AMG- 255 front and rear?
Two weeks ago i purchased a 2008 S550 with the AMG package. I have the
19" Continental tires, with 255/40R19 front and rear.

I noticed on this site, this car should have 255/40R in the front and 275/40R in the rear.

The production of my car was February, 2008.

Any advice?

Is your car the 4Matic, if so, then all is well. If you have the 2wd, there is a problem.

I also believe all season tires are now standard on the 4matic amg cars.

your tire size is correct if your car is a 4matic.If it is not then you have the wrong size rear tires on the rear

Since you have 4-Matic the tires you have are correct. There is no 4-matic that has different tires.
