Best tires for the CL600?
Hey Luke, fellas...
What's the best tire for a 01-02 CL600? High priorities for this 5500-pound beaut are:
1.) Dry Performance
2.) Ride Comfort
3.) Low Noise
4.) Treadwear
Less important are wet and snow traction, but not to be ignored.
I'm considering Mich Pilot Sport PS2, Sport A/S, Pilot MXM, and Pilot MXM4. Leaning towards Sport A/S (I like the tread), or MXM4 (better handling, quieter ride). On paper, it looks like the MXM4 is the way to go, but I've got no real way of knowing. So I'll turn to the voice of experience here. Suggestions?

Yeah, should've mentioned, I'm on the CL2 sport package with the AMG 18"s. That being said, I'm also in the market for new rims and am considering a few options. But this raises a question - does one make/model tire remain preferred throughout the size range? Or would you recommend a different tire if I were to step up to 19"s, for example?
Thanks,

depends on the weather
in the OE 18" Sport Package sizes I would have to go Pilot SPort but, not all tires are available in all sizes so, if you are getting 19's I might have a different answer
