275/40 R19 Tires

I've always run these tires on my modified Mercedes GLA. I've only ever tried the Yokohama V107 and some cheap Kumho Crugen EV tires, but that's not to say I have limited experience. These tires have been with me since stock, through different tire sizes and suspension setups, and they've always delivered an all-around experience that I'm scared to lose by switching to something else.

Noise is fine, and the ride is stiff. That's the price you pay for responsiveness. But the real value of these tires lies in their ability to reliably produce quality G-forces without requiring a second thought. I can tell when they're approaching their grip limit: they build load progressively and release it just as progressively as they break away. More importantly, they can do it over and over again without giving up or tearing themselves apart.

If you don't want to overthink your tire choice for your sports car, super saloon, or anything else you want to enjoy driving through the corners, you really can't go wrong with these.

Grippy tires compared to the OEM Continental ProContact Rx, it feels a bit more softer than the oem tires on turns, it leans into the turns softer while the ProContact Rx felt more sharper and planted in turns. I don't feel completely comfortable driving in the rain with the CrossClimate2, they evacuate water good in a straight line and I can drive fast confidently without worry of hydroplane, however, braking and turning gives me anxiety in the wet. Winter weather is phenomenal, you can easily save yourself during a slide downhill. Will plow through snow 6 inches deep. Will easily accelerate at a green light with ease during a snow storm without sliding. I do not notice any noise difference. Occasional hum when you first get the tires. Decrease of 5% in range due to tread pattern and choice of wider wheel set. 275/40/19 wider tire size has prevented curb rash when parking.
