tires for W210
Hi, all,
I am thinking of buying some wheels, which come with tires on them.
However, the size are not as recommanded on tirerack's website.
They are 225/40/18 and 255/35/18, and I know I should use 235/40/18 and 265/35/18.
But, will it be OK if I use these wrong size tires?
Thanks,
Ben

depends on the weather
those tires are shorter than recommended and do not have the proper laod capacity ..... they are close enough not to cause any problems in the short term if you run atleast 36psi in them but, when the wear out get the correct size

2018 AMG E63s
I change my wheels and tyres the day after i took delivery of my E320 8 years ago 
.
I have been running AMG wheels (same as the E55) 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear ever since without too much problems
.
Just have to avoid Sydney's pot holes after it rains
