White colored cars do look nice. Looks like you are keeping your E63's in white.
It's about time that MB put some Michelin on it. Don't know how MB's got set up with Contis when there are better tires out there. It must be the contract-to-the-lowest-bidder thing. Either that or they are helping their fellow countryman's company instead of going Italian or French.

i drive them all, fast and hard
yeah i dont know how they decide which cars get which tires even if they come to the same region
mine has PZeros' which seem fine, one thing im in shock of is how much tarry grime i have on the side moldings beyond the wheel wells, just after 300 miles,

They only bad thing is they are not forged so they weigh more but Im sure the 18's are pretty light relatively speaking.

So did I (CLS) but I change my wheels no matter what... I actually think the 18's will be more functional that the stock 19's and I get a better tire too. It will be fun tossing the wagon around until I get my next set of HRE's (set 12).
