Hi all, I have recently purchased a set of alloy wheels for my car and have conflicting information about recommended tyres sizes I should use. I have an E240 Avantgarde (W211) - I believe the AG comes with sports suspension as standard (not 4Matic). The car currently has AG polished...

I have 4 tyres in my garage from when I upgraded to 17" wheels. They are 205/55 ZR16 (Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD2). I originally intended to keep these for winter use. My girlfriend's Astra has 205/50 R16 tyres on. She needs some new tyres and seeing as my old ones aren't being used, I thought...
