Be careful with the DWS06. The fronts for the 19" staggered are NOT XL rated of what Merc calls for. I questioned Dealers and all highly advised staying with XL fronts. After reading a lot of past forums, I decided on General AS04. good pricing from TR and my BMW dealer Road Force Balanced and installed for under $150. (Merc dealer would only install "approved" tires) So far I have no problems with these tires at almost half the price of the others cost, and made and backed by Continental.

Look at the load ratings and compare them to the weight of the S Class, the XL tires are overkill and the tires in question have more than enough capacity for the S Class.
Do you really think TireRack would have told me that in writing if it weren't true?
