Luke, E55 tire size question

The manual for E55 specifies 245/40 front and rear for winter. When I search the Tirerack website for E55, it points me to hte same sizes for summer and winter --- front 245/40 rear 265/35.

Your recommendation?

BTW what exactly are M&S tires. I sometimes see M&S on all seasons and not always on snow tires.

depends on the weather
while for true snow conditions it is better to have all four tires the same width. Many people choose to retain the wider rear tire for appearance and dry street handling ... we give you both options and I can advise you which would be best for your aprticular conditions if you would like to give me a call
