2012 Mercedes-benz S550 Tires

When it’s time to shop 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 tires, remember that this model is designed for a staggered fitment, with different tire sizes in front and rear. We’d recommend tires like the Kumho Ecsta PA51, Nexen N’Fera AU7 (55k mile warranty), Yokohama Avid Ascend GT (65k mile warranty) and Toyo Extensa HP. For really precise handling, consider premium ultra-high-performance/summer tires like the Lexani LXUHP-207 and GT Radial Champiro UHP A/S. 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.
