That is exactly what I did. I am running 18x8.5 +45 with 235/45/18 Conti DWS06. Very happy with my decision.
I love my Contact Spike 240's in 38mm. On smooth tarmac you can hear a small ticking noise but nothing obnoxious. Rolling resistance is fine. Grip is fantastic as long as the spikes can find something hard to bite into.
A couple weeks ago I attended the endurance race and Continental was giving out used tires, so maybe.
You can't go wrong with the Continental Kryptotal Fr/Re combo. I've tried DHF/Aggressor, Assegai/Aggressor, Dissector/Aggressor, DHF/DHR2 and Assegai/DHR2 and the Kryptotals are by far my favorite combo. They offer amazing traction with inexplicably low rolling resistance.
Continentals are probably the best of the bunch but also most expensive - have heard good things about all 4 on sedans.
Contis VC7 were better on ice AND snow but especially road noise here in Montreal.
Going on my fourth winter with Continental Viking Contact 7’s. Unbelievable tires. Great in all conditions with unbelievable tread wear.
Continentals- great handling, wear quickly, for your E63, AMGs
Getting back to reliability, the one thing that all the forums agree on is that the OEM Continental ProContact TX 245/35R20 on the SEL-P R-Line is vulnerable to just about anything.
OEM tires usually aren't great. Had pro contact conti's on the Tig and my Golf. They are just loud and hard.
