Snow tires for C55
Hey Luke, i like to know what is the best snow tires available for the C55. I did some research but was not able to find the exact rear tire size for the C55 which is 245/35/18. What are your recommendations if I want to stick with the stock 18" wheels with snow tires?

A far better choice is to run 17" wheels and then there is a wide choice of 225/45/17 snows available.
I am going to run the 17" tapered 5 spoke wheel from the '05 C320 sport with 225/45/17 Michelin PA2's all around.
One thing to lookout for when buying 17" wheels is that they will clear the massive brakes that come on a C55. Many say they will but few actually do!
A wise man once said when asked about running fat 18" snows in winter. "its maybe better to not look as good and stay on the road than to be looking good in the ditch".
I hope this helps....
