Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Michelin Primacy 4 225-45-17 Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 22,500 miles October 21, 2026

Very happy with these tyres, but replaced them with Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 5 (Michelin was not available at the time). NEVER again - the Goodyears are hopeless, lasted less than 10k miles. Recommend you avoid Goodyear.

Michelin Primacy 4 225-45-17- Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 10 miles March 2, 2023
No complaints about the overall performance. However, despite a 70dB rating, as they wear down they become very noisy on anything less than a very smooth asphalt road surface. Will not buy again for this reason.

Tigar Tigar UHP 235-45-17- Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 17,000 miles November 11, 2022
Those tires drove extremely well on wet roads; very comfortable in long trips. Best quality/price ratio tires I've ever bought. way better than my previous Kumho's. Highly recommend.

Horizon HU901 225-45-17- Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 20,000 miles September 30, 2021
Had them for quiet some time, used mainly on my Mercedes ML350 and E250. They wear really good. Horrible on dry road during really high tempretures. Quiet and reliable. Wonderfull on wet roads and rainy days r no problem for these tires. I have the Horizon Horace very stiff and hard tires but for a low quality tyre shall do u good. Would not recommend if u plan on racing.

Giti GitiSport S1 245-45-18- Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 7,000 miles April 13, 2021
Changed my tyre profile to higher height at 45 and saw some promotion going on. Saw the tyre specification and seems to be a good deal. Wasn't expecting much as Giti was not as reputable like Michelin and other big boys. I did hestitated and finally giving it a shot. Driven with these tires and so far i got no complain about it. The dry grip and control was done super well, drove on wet weather many times and seems to be good as well. No matter what tire i'm using, driving with caution on wet weather is always a must and i could say Sport S1 has done a great job so far.

Petlas Velox Sport PT741 245-40-18-W Mercedes Benz E250 CDI March 9, 2021
I bought a 2014 E Class with this set of tyres, the previous owner installed them. At first, I was pretty skeptical about this set of tyres because I never heard of Petlas before. Now, that being said, I was extremely impressed with both dry grip and wet grip for this brand. Handling is decent for a set of tyres like this, and comfort is relatively good, except the fact that they are a bit noisy over 100 kmh. I drove these tyres in basically all conditions, with a combined driving style (both aggressive, cruising, and city driving). Wear was the biggest jaw-dropper: they lasted for around 31.000 km, and that was just fanstastic. It's not the best set of tyres, but it is not the worst either; my verdict is that if you are on a budget, they are can work better than you expect.

Put 2 on the front of my car, need 2 some months later for the rear went to a different tyre guy he said the M1 on the front were rubbish in the wet, I haven't noticed, maybe he didn't supply M1 and said this? Not sure.

Falken Azenis FK510 245-40-18-W Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 45,000 miles August 14, 2019
The best tyres I had so far,
Handling was nice rubber sticks to the road surprisingly well and grip when you taking off is amasing ...
I used to slide with different makes on the road or when I am taking off to spin it few time but not with those I had Michelin, Goodyear , Dunlop and I can say so far they performed the best maybe they were not as quiet as Goodyear for example but honestly you can not find any difference .Yes they are not top economic tyre but honestly difference was about less 100g of diesel extra per 100km and acceleration was awsome ...
I can say I have sporty tipe of driving and the same time cruising a lot on motorways and I can say Grip in wet Is supreme grip on dry very good as well maybe they have a bit better grip on wet lets say 1-2% better they are wearing out very nice I can say even slow compared to my Dunlop experience and Goodyear ...
Excuse me I do not know how to give you a proper review but I think I found my tyres and I do not think I will change it for other make ... maybe ... just maybe Michelin if they come of with something descent but pricewise and my experince will go for those

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 245-35-19-W Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 1,000 miles January 13, 2018
Replaced my Michelin PSS with these. Never again!! Now get chronic understeer , vague in the straight ahead and car feels far less responsive and does not inspire confidence.

Uniroyal RainSport 3 275-30-19-W Mercedes Benz E250 CDI 800 miles January 13, 2018
I replaced my Michelin PSS rear tyres with Uniroyals Rainsport 3. Terrible mistake. My car isteering is vague, I now have really bad understeer and, at the drop of a hat, the car looses traction, particularly when exiting a T junction. Checked pressures etc and had the wheels aligned and camber checked. Never again, will be swapping back to Michelin soon...despite the cost! Car is a humble Mercedes E 250 CDI Sport...not exactly sporty but has been made much worse by these tyres
