Need some tire recommendations for E55
The OEM conti's lasted about 7500 miles on my 06' E55. I drive my MB for a daily and not aggresively. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm really looking for something that will last longer.

Just got a set of Goodyear F1 GS D3 and they are def better than the stockers. Should last about 15K. Can't believe you only got 7500 out of the conti's. On our C class just got a new set of Falken FK452 on 18's and have been very happy. Got 22K out of our Falken Azeni ST115's and that car is driven daily to work.

I'd be happy to get 15k on a set. I've never had luck with conti OEMS.
If I drove the E55 hard,i'd expect it..but this car I drive very civilized.

Try Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires. Very good grip and cost less than the PS2s.
