Non runcrap Tyre recommendations please

Thanks for the advice Bobby Dazzler! Upon checking I can't help feel that the dealership chucked on any random tyres. The rears are 255/35/ZR18 94W and 235/40ZR18 95Y on the front. I'm pretty sure they where a staggered set up as stock it being a e220 A207 AMG line, but I could be wrong. Going off what you said about its best to have same size all round I'm thinking going down that route now.
Irrespective of the sizing question, one thing is sure; the speed ratings definitely shouldn't be different ( or less than specified for the vehicle )

I was leaning more towards go flats but after what youre saying and from researching online I think I'll go with the michellin 4s ( if I can find the right size ). Thanks again bud👍🏼
I'm running Goodyear vector 4 all season. Can't praise them enough . It's grim up north ⬆️.

Why not take the wheels off and confirm the sizes? It’s embossed on the inside along with the part number.
 
Got the same car as the poster, same year as well. Have a similar tyre problem. Car was sold to me with two Pirelli P zero’s on the front 235/40/ ZR18 ( near new) and Michelin 255/35/ ZR18 on rear ( picked up an advisory for inside wear recent MOT) obviously used to have Michelin all round I imagine.
not sure whether to put 2 x new Pirelli on rear to match front or dig deep and put 4 x Michelin all round 🤷🏽‍♂️

2 to match the fronts , they'll soon catch up in terms of tread depth.
 
Hello all,
I would appreciate any non run flat tyre recommendations for a 2015 E class A207. Top priorities for me would be ride comfort, grip and longevity. Being from London UK all season would be best, or if anyone thinking differently id love 2 hear what u think. Cheers

I stuck Michelin CrossClimate2 onto a VW T5 campervan last year. It mostly does Summer trips, but is also 4WD with good ground clearance, so my logic was that it could do Winter duty also if it was ever needed.
The Summer performance was fine, no issues at all even down into Spain and 40 degrees etc., and somehow the Winter performance is also really good. Cold/wet/snow-slush/mud all handled without any drama whatsoever.
I've only really needed them a couple of times, but those occasions were long trips (4-6 hours), where I wouldn't have travelled in a RWD car with Summer tyres (and probably not in a 2.5t van on Summer tyres either).

If you think you'd benefit from that type of application / situation, then I'd look at the Pilot Sport or Continental All Season options (the CrossClimates are probably a bit budget / soft-walled for an A207 IMO).
The CrossClimates have some kind of voodoo compound that will pick up gravel even after 10,000 miles (the gravel is stuck to the tyre face, not caught in the tread!):
