You serious best bet is ordering them through www.tirerack.com
That way you know you're going to get the tires, and you know that they won't come all messed up.

If you order through the above link, Tirerack gives a portion of the sale to MBWorld.org to help support the servers!

Once you get up into the 19 and 20 inch diameters you ar NOT going to have a multitude of sizes for fitment -- and you need to be realistic about that, trust me, I have to do it all the time! Once you get over 285 or 295 in the width you are going to have the same problem.
The Pirelli PZero's, maybe Nitto, the Goodyear F1's (supercar and fiorano), and it sounds like the Conti SC2's are probably your only options.
I'd look at the Pirelli's first, and then the Goodyears, if you don't get the sizes you want, the SC2's are supposed to be alot better tire than the original SC's.
You're probably also going to have to get realistic and realize that if you want to go that large in diameter and that wide in width that you may have to accept a 5mm difference in either aspect ratio or width.
Been there, done that...for years....

Good choice. And when you've worn them out...you can decide to see if there is something else out there, or that you liked them so much that you'll get another set -- that's what I do.
