S55 AMG split spoke/ Michelin tires/TPMS

For sale is a set of original S55 amg wheels, mounted on the rims are almost new Michelin Pilot tires all season. TPMS sensors are also included.
front is 18x8.5 +44 tires 245/45/18 Michelin Pilot
rear is 18x9.5+44 tires 275/40/18 Michelin Pilot

I bought these from another member here on the forum, but I realised the CL uses a smaller overall diameter tire 265/40 rather then 275/40 , it looked little high for my taste so I'm passing the deal, looking to get what I paid for them.
As you can see the tires almost have full tread left, used under 1000 miles. Wheels have been refinished in silver color and they look great, with only couple of spots where they may used touch up. Center caps are not included but the TPMS(tire pressure sensors) are included for free.
Local pick up is welcome, or buyer pays shipping.

Great deal , Same exact set up I have on my S500 Sport . 275 40 18 works great IMO .

thanks, I think 275/40/18 Is stock size for S55 , cl runs a slightly smaller tire 265/40.
I currently run 285 but the prfile is 35 so it compensates for the extra width.

Nope CL&S Both take 265 40 18 form 2003-UP , Earlier models 00-02 S500/430 With sport Package and 01-02 N/A S55 Comes stock with 275 40 18 . and the difference is minimal by by 1.2% too fast running 265 40 18 . Now the 285 35 18 You're running is way off from the 245 45 18 fronts by 3.1% too fast , trust me is off by a lot as you should be running 255 40 18 fronts . Those are SL/CLS Size tires with sport package and 55K 63 etc .
