Hi Luke,
Seems I'm just about a day or two from ordering a set of 17" tires from you for my 17x8.5 et35 or my w124. I know, I know..Ive been told that it wont work but ive also been told that it will..so i guess ill just have to push my luck..if it doesnt, then theyll go on my ml430. anyways, here's the question: im deciding between the pirelli 7000ss, the michelin hgt, and the bridgestone potenza re730 in 225/45/17...im also considering the 215/45/17 dunlop sp9000. in your professional opinion, which tire do you suggest for my application...my car is gonna get dropped and a fender roll ensuing after the springs go in...i dont really drive aggressively, but do enjoy the occasional fast corner or the high speed passing on the highway...what do you think luke...THANKS for all the help...

Ben

Go with the Dunlop Sport 9000 in a 215 size. You'll really like them and when you lower the car you'll still be "ok". If the wheels do not fit ... be careful of the load capacity of the wheel you put on the ML ...

Thanks, Luke
