If I were you, I'd go with what the Benz puts on the car when its out of the factory. Usually, the tires are tested and give the ideal traction and wear.

For the best traction Michelin PS2's. For the best comfort Conti Sport. In regards to tire size you should try to keep the same tire diameter.

I run 255/30/20 (front 8"rim) & 295/25/20 (rear 10"rim)

Good Luck
