i drive them all, fast and hard
so far im pretty ok with my stock pzeros, maybe i just dont know any better
on my w126 i had basic kumho asx ecsta all seasons on it on a staggered set up, they were ok, but when i switched to bridgestones re760s, i did note a nice difference. so i guess there is something to say about that....
so far after 8500 miles in 10 months, i still have good tread life on rears
i hate changing only 2 tires at a time, so hopefully i can make these out as long as possible

got it! hopefully they're clear enough. it's as tucked in as i can get it. but looks like you have enough room, of course, you'll still need to deal with offsets and other variables. But not sure if you were considering a new rim. I probably wouldn't go any wider than 285 on this rim.
hope it helps.

Nothing wrong with them at all.
I got great tread life (and good performance) out of my set of PZero tires.
I'll tell you though, the RE-11 takes the car up a big notch in performance and is still as civilized as a luxury tire.
I'd say it is more civilized than PZero and PS2 (which are my most recent tires on 2 different cars).
It really shines on corner exit, when you can lay down the power and it just sticks and launches you forward (not sideways).
I can tell you, it looks way better than stock.
Stock looked weird with the front tire taller than the rear tire.

i was just looking at tire sizes too, 295/30 19 is a closer match in diameter and sidewall than 285 30 that the cars come with. Closer match compared to the fronm 255/35s
makes me wonder, why did mercs go with the shorter tire? in the rear..
if 295 is ok, u can get super sports michelins
