chriswufgator strange that you only got 6,000 miles out of the Pirelli's. I got Pirelli Pzero Rosso on my car and with spirited driving style lasted a good 11,000 miles. Ok mine is lighter than yours being the 320 but I don't see the difference in weight so deomanding on the wheels. Pirellis are not known to be the best as for lasting miles but your car would be on rails on dry and wet tarmac. The Rossos really transformed my car and they weren't that bad either but my size was 245/45 17 and I hadn't the ADS system. Now with the 2003 CL 500 I got I have the ABC system and I feel the CL is less comfortable than the SL.

Cheers.
