305
I run 305/30/ZR20 Pirelli P Zero's on the rear of my 2009 SL65 and they work fine.
If I could find a wider rim and move up to 315-'s without issues I would.

Why would any car manufacturer spend its time and money approving non-OE tire sizes, and why is MB approval important to you? 305 versus 285 is about 3/4". Next time you're stopped at a red light, jump out and ask the guy behind you if he thinks your 285's look too skinny.

The difference between 305 and 315 is about half inch. Next time you're at a red light, jump out and ask the guy behind you if your 305's look too skinny.

Streborx....Very constructive post bro. For all I care you can keep your opinions to yourself as you offer zero contributions.
