Tire question for '04 CLK 500

Hi all, I've recently purchased a set of 19" Brabus Monoblock VI rims and now i'm in the market of getting new tires for them. I've seen ppl telling me Nitto NT555 is pretty good for its price but I'm just not brave enough to try it. Is there any tire that you guys recommand that provides both comfort and performance?

Thanks
Charles

Before I became a tech at Benz I started out changing tires on them...I have seen many tire related complaints pulls/vibrations/uneven wear etc. all fixed by installing michelin tires.
They may cost a little more but you cant go wrong with a set of Michelins and a good alignment. I would recommend Michelin pilot sports, but beware they are rather soft.
Compare tread ratings to find the balance of perf. and longevity you want.
