I don't own a W210, I have a W211. I think that 265 is OEM but that just about everybody goes to a 275 for the extra 10mm, and there are no resultant problems from doing so.
Hope that helped.

We all go to 275, because it is a better match diameter wise with the front 245, but at our own risk. I calculated that in order to actually reach the maximum load on each rear tire as specified by the OEM 265/35/18 97Y load rating, we would need to exceed the Gross Vehicle Mass by about 20%.
Go figure!

Not disagreeing with anyone, but the car does "push" more with the 275s. Just depends on your desire. If you want better launches, the 275s have LARGER contact patch. Whoever said the shape alone changes may have meant something else. Obviously, tire profile, rim size, etc also affects it.
Has anyone tried running the 265s in the front and 275s in the rear? This would actually give the car a more inclined stance since the 245s are actually taller than the 265s.
