As above , I’ve got to buy couple of Winter tyres for the back of the e55, any suggestions on Winter set that are not to noisy I do realise being a more blocky tread there are not going tobe as quiet as summer tyres.
 
on the contrary , winter tyres have a softer tread and are generally quieter and more comfortable than their summer counterparts in the cold, with far worse braking distances ofcourse...
 
Ive just put toyo snowproxe onto my c250 and can say they are very good and quiet.
 
i seem tobe struggling to find a Winter tyre with a w onwards rating most seem tobe (v) 265/35/18

May just end up having to get a Good Wet tyre instead
 
there are two good winter tyres in the size you are looking for on black circles. (conti TS850 and michellin alpin PA4 ). looks like there is a 10%off sale on the michellins.

Re speed rating on most winter tyres will not be better than a V I dont think. Are you planning on going on the autpbahn by any chance?

what are your front tyre size or were you thinking of using summer tyres on the front and winters on the back?
 
The book says that you should use 245/40/18 8j et 30 as winters 93 H M+ S or 97V Extra load M+S.
