19" Toyo R888- DEAL

2) 295/30-19
2) 235/35-19

Price for all four- $1175.00

These tires were mounted on brand new wheels but never used. The customer decided to go with another tire size that Toyo did not make so these tires are now available at a discounted price. These tires are probably the best handling road race tire available right now.

great tires but they're not really the correct sizes for an e55. good luck with the sale.

Fronts are a bit thin for most wheels
you could stretch them however
Most E55 with aftermarket rims use a 245 or 255

fronts are too thin and too short and i haven't heard of anyone trying 295/30/19 without rubbing issues. i'd be surprised if that combo didn't set off esp warnings.

295's worked fine for me on stock height....I began running into issues only when lowering the car which is why I stepped down to a 285. this was on a 19x10.5 et35 wheel. Although I imagine the R888 are alot beefier than most other brands. agreed 235's are a bit thin for the fronts.

Yeah, they werent on a Mercedes, we bought them for another car but I figured I would put it out there if anyone was looking for a road race set up for and may be interested in saving some money. These were mounted but never on the car.

FYI, I use a 295/35-20 on my car and have no rubbing issues. As a matter of fact I think I am adding a 15mm spacer to the rear of my car with that tire.

I'm sorry, its 295/25-20. I guess I really need to proofread my posts. But the 295 fits with lots of room left. Like I said, I am installing a spacer today (probably 15mm) to make it more flush.
