For my E420 you suggested the Goodyear's and I was very please.

Are they still your best Southern California Tire? I have a 2000 E55 now with stock wheels.

Thanks
David

I'd go with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires, 235/40R18 front, 265/35R18 rear.

Those sizes are kind of small for the W210 E55. 245 and 275 are stock for that model, no? Great tires, BTW.

You are absolutely right. Not sure what I was thinking about there... lol...

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, 245/40YR18 Front, 275/35YR18 Rear would be killer on the `00 E55.

depends on the weather
while the PS2 is a great tire the Eagle F1 GS-D3 offers better ride quality and wet traction as well as longer tire life
