My ‘11 E550 coupe will need new tires soon. Thinking of going a size larger on the rears - 265/35-18s vs the stock 255/35-18s. They are 10mm wider and only 1% taller.

Has as anyone any insight (pros vs. cons) on doing this? Thanks

Thanks or your response. Which tires did you go with?

Im leaning towards the Michelin PS 4S.

Good choice, I went with Michelin Pilot Sports PS2. And older model but softer/sticky (220 wear rating)
