Continental
Mine came with Continental.

Although, replaced it with 19 inch Goodyear GSD3 a week after picking up the car.

Pirelli's on mine but they are gone and replaced with Michellen PS 2's. Much better handling car since the change, especially in the rain!!

Pirelli's here too. They're decent enough in the wet, but their dry traction leaves a lot to be desired.

My 2006 SLK55 came with Contis. I swapped them for GS D3's before I even left the lot.
