Tires for a stock E63?

I recently acquired a 2008 P030 E63.

It is bone stock and I plan to keep it that way. The car came with Mandrus 20" wheels which do not fit my style, and I would like to place the stock 18" 2 piece AMG wheels back on the car. I need new rubber for them...

What tires do you guys run/ recommend? I had PS2's on my old M3 and was happy with them, but the Michelins are a bit more pricey than other brands...

Also what size would you run? just the stock 245/40 265/35?

Are the Michelins worth it for a daily driven E63 or is there a more economical alternative? I don't really do track days or drag racing so thats not a factor...

Thanks!

Yea stick with the stock size, you may be able to stretch the rears to a 275. Mine came with Michelin pilot sport all seasons and they work well, I've ran the car a few track days on them now and they hold up. I'm definitely getting pilot SS's after they're worn down which will be soon. They are worth the money, I had PS2's on my C55.
