Which tyres and what size?

[Mat B]

Hi all,

I have finally after over a year of searching got hold of some AMG type IV split rims in an e class fitment for my E55.

My question is, what size tyres would be correct for these

front 8.5 x 19 - 245/35/19?

rear 9.5 x 19 - 275/30/19?

and most importantly what in people opinions would be the best tyres?

Ive googled for best rear wheel drove tyres and so far from what ive found

the continental sport contact 3 and dunlop sport maxx TT are recommended

You feed back is much appreciated

I'd be surprised if either of those sizes fit under the arches.

Are these for your 211 or 210 E55?
