Benz finally ditching Contis???
InsideLine just test drove the new E63 over in Germany and Pirelli P Zeros were on the test car.
Befitting their stature at the top of the line, the AMG models benefit from more aggressive running gear, bigger brakes and specific tuning for the Airmatic suspension, and a new seven-speed automatic transmission. The E63 sits on larger 18-inch alloys, 8.5 inches wide up front and 9 inches out back, wrapped by 245/40 and 265/35 ZR-rated tires (Pirelli P Zeros on our test car). We wouldn't mind seeing 19s on this car, both for aesthetic and dynamic reasons.
