was told my options were limited

i am getting the Lowenhart LD5 Noir Edition rims, 20x9 in front and 20x11 in rear.

was told the ContiSportContact 2's -255/30/20 front and 305/25/20 rear were the best for summer and wet driving.

not my 1st choice. You really have to say what you are looking for, quiet ride? Best handling? Ride comfort (wont make much difference with 25 series tires on 20 inch rims)? etc.

If you are going with 20's, I would assume that you are not concerned about wear, ride, noise or all season capabilities. So, I would go with S-03's or Pilot Sport's.

I've got the SportContact 2's as OEM on my E500 w/Appearance. Mediocre tires at best.
