The Mercedes-Benz SLK-class roadster got the AMG treatment with a 355 hp 5.5L V8; that, along with suspension tweaks and other AMG performance mods made the SLK55 AMG a blistering performer. Your SLK55 AMG would have left the factory with Continental ContiSportContact 5P tires as OEM.
When it’s time to shop 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG tires, remember that this make/model uses a staggered fitment with different tires sizes in front and rear. We rounded up some great premium all-season tires for your SLK55 AMG; check out tires like the Toyo Extensa HP II, Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (45k mile warranty) or Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus (50k mile warranty). For more spirited driving, check out summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Bridgestone Potenza Sport S001 RFT. Just remember that summer/UHP tires use a softer, stickier tread formulation that delivers excellent cornering and braking performance, but will stiffen and lose traction in colder.
