Exclamation SLK's W/ Conti 2's

For those that have the AMG rims it seems as if Conti Sport 2's are the most common tire (not sure about the 10 spokes) how do you like them, any vibrations, steering wheel shimmies, excessive road noise etc?

Thanks!

I had them before changing my wheels. I had no problem whatsoever. Quiet, responsive, etc. However, I do live in California and we tend to have some of the better road conditions. Therefore, it may make a difference with someone in your area.

I have the 10 spoke rims and did a 10/1 Euro delivery, with now over 11K miles and am satisfied with my conti 2's...

That's good to hear as I'm contemplating purchasing new AMG rims that have Conti 2's already on from the factory. Most of the E55 guys hated the the C2's and switched to Michelin PS2's and were much happier.

I would welcome more responses please.

Thanks
