2016 Mercedes-benz S550e Tires
The Mercedes-Benz S550 is the sixth generation of the company’s S-class full-size sedans, and is available with a V8 engine and 4Matic all-wheel drive. The S550E is the hybrid iteration and is also available in Coupe and Cabriolet body styles. Continental ProContact GX SSR, Pirelli P Zero or Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires would have been OEM for this make-model.
When it’s time to shop 2016 Mercedes-Benz S550E tires, remember that this model is designed for a staggered fitment, with different tire sizes in front and rear. Rear sizes could be 275-35R20 or 275-40R19, front tires could be 245-40R20 or 245-45R19. We’d recommend tires like the Kumho Ecsta PA51, Nexen N’Fera AU7 (55k mile warranty), Yokohama Advan Sport A-S Plus (55k mile warranty) and Toyo Extensa HP. For really precise handling, consider premium ultra-high-performance-summer tires like the Lexani LX-Twentyand Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate. Just remember that summer-UHP tires get their great cornering from a sticky, softer tread compound, but these tires can stiffen and lose their traction in cold weather. Summer-UHP tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
