Hello,
I have a question, on my Mercedes 223 s 400D I have factory tires 255/35/R21 and 285/30/R21. New s ​​223 amg has 255/40/R21 and 285/35/R21 tires, so I'm wondering if I can put that dimension on 400 d, since these factory tires are very low.

Yep! There are some discussion on this and someone did that. I would do that if I had the 21s.

I'd wait and see if they're popping them left and right like the current 21" owners have experienced with their wheels. I don't know if you've read about that or not but I'd recommend a search if that's a not, it isn't pretty.

No need to retune speedo... The change in tire size is within 3 percent margin so it's with limits and it's not easy to even mess with the speedo.
