Winter Tires for CLK320
I am shopping for winter tires for my 2004 CLK-320 Coupe. I plan to use my stock wheels for the winter, so I have no choice but to use the exact staggered sizes.
Front: 205/55-16
Rear: 225/50-16
I really prefer Michelin Alpin-Pilot PA2 but they do not make 225/50-16. What should I do? Any ill effects if I use 215/60-16, 205/60-16, 215/55-16, 225/55-16 or 205/50-16 in the rear?

depends on the weather
please stay tuned until the end of the month .... there will be a full post on winter tires and wheels for most models (yours included)
the reason I would rather that you wait is so I can test out the new offerings

Great. I will wait for your report.
Because of the staggered setup/sizes, my only choices are Dunlop M3, Pirelli 210 and Blizzak LM22. So far, I'm leaning towards the Dunlop.
