Fitment comes from each tire'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.

It gets too much road noise. I have become disinclined to drive the car since the day I installed it. The only good thing is that it brakes well. Other than that, the car slides horizontally on corners. Definitely a tire I will not buy again.

These tires came on my car my car is rear wheel drive and the rear ones have already wore out in under 5000 miles on the front they don’t have plenty of tread left, but in cornering they’re a little bit lacking

Accelera Eco Plush 195-70-14- Mercedes Benz E320 CDI October 1, 2024
So, first off, I have only had the tires about a week and a half. I put them on a 1981 Mercedes 300SD that has very low power. I have noticed in many cases where I have a tire that others reviewed as bad, I look for the common denominator, which is usually a car type the tire doesn't work for. In some cases, the tire likes heavy or light cars, or not good for performance, and those who have the opposite end up giving a bad review. Anyway, these tires are on a 43yr old car, and they make no road noise, I can do short curves at aggressive speeds (as aggressive as a 300SD can be) with very good stick to the road making me feel very confident. The ride over bumps and potholes are just normal, nothing bad or good, just normal. The overall ride is very comfortable. I don't remember driving in any rain yet, but they seem to be very much like the Master Craft tires I had before making me "believe" they'll be fine. If they turn out to not be fine, I will return and post that information. I drive close to 140 miles a day, so my week and a half review is about as good as someone else's month+ review. For such a VERY low price in the world of "there must be gold in those tires" prices, I'll buy them every time I need tires on this car.

Sunny SN3970 245-45-17- Mercedes Benz E320 CDI 5,000 miles June 17, 2024
Had sunny tires tires fitted all round. After 1000 miles the road noise was deafening. Contacted seller and was told what do you expect from budget tires. Cracks had started to appear between the treads. Had the car checked by a mechanic for wheel bearings due to the noise but they were fine front and back.
The noise got even worse with wear.
After 5000 deafening miles I bit the bullet and replaced them with Devanti tires. Results is bliss I can hear my engine again.
Unless you have a wheel barrow I would advise not to fit sunny tires although they may be good for children’s swings.

Falken Azenis FK520 245-45-17- Mercedes Benz E320 CDI 12,000 miles November 3, 2023
The dry grip feeling is really superior, the sensations are that of a Bridgestone Potenza without a doubt. In the wet, the grip is very good, greater than the audacity of any average driver. Due to the width of my tire (245/45 R17), when hitting a deep puddle, the braking is felt on the suspension wishbones, like with any other tire of this width. I would recommend it for use in summer and rainy days, although with deep puddles and wet road markings you have to take the same precautions as with any other wide sports tire.

Continental PremiumContact 7 225-55-16- Mercedes Benz E320 CDI 500 miles April 7, 2023
500 miles later.... scuffed & broken in. V6 Merc 3 liter diesel E Class. BIG LUMP. Previous Cross Climates 30k. I have given the rubbers max marks for every criteria. Yes they are that dam good ! I am not worried if they last 12 months or 3 years. I will buy them again. It has transformed my remapped Merc to something else ! Scooby Subaru difference. The car sits in the road and steers razor sharp. The braking was tested return trip to the Cotswold in the wet. WOW kid you not THE CONFIDENCE IT GIVES YOU IS IMMENSE. Cross Climates carnt come close sorry ! Heres the kicker i have 16 rims , nothing sporty so if you did have wider wheels OMG you would be like a Cheshire cat. That said , I have 530Nm with a XLR pedal box. So it can shift. I never thought that tires could alter / transform the ride, comfort , noise so much. Wasnt expecting that and can only comment on my truck. Have owned Scoobys , M3 , Porsche , MR2s, Mercs am an old fart 58. So I have an idea what a positive transformation these CP7s have made to the overall ride , steering razor sharp, grip, comfort, noise. Braking and direction is immense. I have lost about 2MPG rolling resistance tough. I have been bamboozled by the amount of tires and compounds on offer. However, the expert review here and other research made me DO IT. I am so happy I payed the extra lolly. I feel like i have a two ton Subaru they are that good! Enjoy the trip.

Maxtrek INGENS A1 265-35-18- Mercedes Benz E320 15,000 miles March 31, 2023
Purchased a set of 245/40/18 (front) and 265/35/18 (rear) for a set of Mercedes-Benz AMG rims I picked up for my E320 (2004) AWD. At first like others I was skeptical as these are made in China and at the time (summer 2018) there wasn't anything I could find online about them but the price point was $104 and $119 respectably. The are directional so if your running a staggered set up like I was take note you can't rotate them. Now I'm not an aggressive driver and this car was just for nice days and a change off from time to time from some other daily drivers. I don't think I ever exceeded 90mph on rare occasion but would cruise around 70/75 on the interstate. My driving style is more of an old man on a Sunday drive. One (FL) would have a slight vibration that came on around 65mph. Tire shop checked balance several times but it never went away and they wouldn't replace as it balanced. Even had them align the yellow with the valve stem (lightest part of the tire). They did this and had to subtract weight from the rim but still had a vibration. Moved it to the other side (FR) and the vibration moved with it so I think the tires (high spot) red dot was near the top of the limits and the shop just kept saying it balances. Dry weather it did well, rode somewhat quiet but wet weather/rain they were far more slippery than the previous tires (M brand). Never tried them in the snow, the peel off label on the tire had a line printed across the snow flake so wasn't going to try it. I've had them 4 1/2 years and put around 15k miles on them and they have dry rotted horribly around the outer tread where it meets the sidewall so I'm getting them replaced all around. I personally would not recommend these tires, don't let the low price fool you, they may be fine for a few years but that's it. The replacements are Vercelli Strada II, same price point, made in Thailand and good reviews. Will try them out and see how it goes, so far so good.

Michelin CrossClimate 225-55-16- Mercedes Benz E320 CDI 28,000 miles March 4, 2023
UK roads 16 inch rims e Class Merc. Tires tread is about 4mm after 28k , 4 years. Some brisk driving, majority mixture of roads. Carnt say they were that good in the winter as an all season tire, hence will not pruchase again. The side walls have all cracked on 7k miles per year. I do use Autoglym trye dressing and been researcing, it can dry your tires out. Buying water based dressing in future. The dry grips ok along with wet, but an e class elegance isnt a low profile fast racing car on 16 rims. Its remapped etc & the rears smoke in 3rd still. Not sure why cough cough ! on striaght lines. Too much body role when pushing on. My next tires will be Conti 7s or the Bridgestones 005. Not many reviews on the Contis by owners yet. Had my fill of Michelins time for change. It appeals the extra MPG offered by B 005 , reviews saying wear too quick hmmmmmmm Contis not sure yet ..
