Best Tyres for the Mercedes Benz E Class Estate

Put Nokian snowproof 2 on a Mercedes E250D s210 with rear-wheel drive. It was used for one season in deep snow and in the mountains. For me, these tires are the best. When testing in the mountains with deep snow, the Mercedes climbed higher than a VW GOLF with front-wheel drive, also with winter tires but of a different brand, which surprised everyone present. Now I bought the same model tires for a VW New beetle.

On paper an excellent tyre. I bought a set of these for my Mercedes E220CDI estate thinking they were a good buy but it was a very expensive mistake. I paid £500 for the rears (265/35/18) and £300 for the fronts (245/40/18). The rubber is very, very soft. After 6 months and 4000 miles 3 tyres had to be replaced due to multiple cuts through to the cords in the tread area of both rear tyres and a small stone through the sidewall on one of the fronts. Just goes to show that you can read tyre tests all day long but real world driving can be completely different. These tyres are absolutely not suitable for UK country roads. If you stick to motorways you may be OK but I have wasted £800 on tyres that effectively lasted 6 months and became dangerous. My local garage says they have lots of problems with these tyres failing before they are worn out in terms of tread depth. And if you are wondering it's not how I drive. I am an advanced driver.

I've had PS5s on the front on my 2016 S212 E-Class for around a year (7-10k ish) and they've been excellent so far, performance of all kinds is great. I've noticed in the last month or so the tyres are starting to step on the inner tread blocks or go out of shape so they now sound like a pair of faulty wheel bearings. I am a technician at a Mercedes dealer & use our aligner to regularly check my geometry which is always fine, shocks and bushings, etc are all ok so I'm forced to conclude its the tyres themselves. I'll be hanging on to them as long as I can tolerate the noise but I suspect i'll have had enough before theyre worn out (they currently have around 4-5mm remaining). Oddly my 120,000 mile Seat Exeo with the same tyres doesn't have this problem!

I'm on my second one set of these run flat tyres now. First set... front did 32000, rear 24000. Great wear and grip compared to a previous Pirelli set. Great tyres and fabulous mileage for a large car.

Exceptional hard wearing tyre. 3 mots running have highlighted 3-2mm have done 12000 used 1mm. Front wheel Mercedes e220. Driving normally. Just replaced same again.

When I put the tyres on I was actually a bit disappointed. I got a strange "resounding" sound that I couldn't identify, as it didn't always have anything to do with the road surface. But after 2-3000 km the resounding sound disappeared and today I am really very happy with the tyres. I'm not into "sports tyres" anymore (used to be) and don't drive hard in the car etc. so for me the tyre is absolutely perfect. It is extremely quiet compared to the Primacy 3, Primacy 4 that I have been driving on before the Primacy 4+. It is admittedly a somewhat softer tyre which gives a little less feedback in sharp curves, but it is really comfortable as potholes etc. are heard and felt much less. So I am very happy with the Pimacy4+

Fitted to a 2017 E Class Mercedes estate. Really impressed with the wet / dry weather performance at low temperatures. Handles very similar to a summer tyre and last season were left on until late spring. This is the second season running them and they have hardly worn at all. My car has different tyre sizes front and rear so I was limited on choice for manufactures that can provide for both fitments. They were expensive but I have no regrets as they have proven faultless in all conditions and do not go off in warmer conditions like previous winter tyres I have had on other vehicles. Highly recommended if you can find them as they have now been superseded by other models.

Have had many sets of tyres, I have to get the XL load rating or they wear out fast. good handling and no issues, just poor wear value Disappointed with these new Eco5 as the back tyres have done 13000 miles and are shot.

Really good match for my car. Decided to remove the stock Pirelli run flats and go for a good premium’normal’ tyre. The difference is night and day. Feel. Comfort. Grip (wet and dry) all improved instantly. I have no idea how long these will last. But for every day driving I can’t imagine there are many out there that are better. If you have a car with noisy run flats these are a significant improvement. Almost sure I’ll buy these again. 9/10. Only drawback is they are not cheap. But you get what you pay for.

I had them on the front axle on my 2010 Mercedes Eclass E250cdi estate. Done over 35000miles,mostly motorway miles, no problem in the rain,and I found them very quiet also. I have replaced them now with 2020 Landsail ls588 uhp version for about £140 a pair balanced and fitted on.One negative thing I will add that my car rear wheels are bigger 265/35/18,and when I purchased them first time in 2016,on the rear tires both inside walls have cracked within one year. So, for me only the front tires have done the job right 245/40/18.I do recommend them as an cheaper alternative, they lasted 4 years and over 35000miles.
