CLS55 & CL CK60
i have the nitto neogens. 2nd pair and i like them. im running 305/25/20s though so i may not be a good comparison. i think almost all tries suck with those numbers - especially with my severe camber issues...

Toyo T1R's are the absolute best. I like them better than the PS2's when handling over 500rwhp.

^ loved the T1R's on my old M3. Turn-in wasn't as crisp, as the blocks are rigid in a fore/aft direction, but the straight line grip was great!

These tires should last you over 10,000 miles easy.

'06 E55
I've read all of the threads on tires and about to buy my first set for the Beast. I'm going with the Hankook's after reading the C&D compro and other recommendations on here. FYI: I'm still on my first set of OEM Continentals that came with my CPO '06 E55...which were new when I bought the car and lasted all of 6,000mi.

E63 AMG
Let us know how they work out (ride, noise level, wear, traction, appearance, etc.)

The Hankooks and Toyos came in 7th and 8th in a test of 8 tires.

To be honest I could care less what a test from some third world magazine company says. I buy what works for me and what works for me are the T1Rs. My lease is up next month and I just realized my backs are down to the wear bars and I have put 22,000 miles on the set. Fronts still have more than 70% life. I drive like an animal and these tires take lots of abuse. I'm extremely happy with them.
