Default New Tire question

I bought some General Exclaim UHP tires for my Mercedes C class and I like them very much. It had the 17 inch stag wheels kinda like our AP2s but the tires are not as low profile. I've been thinking about getting the same tire (but in the S2k size).

Does anyone here have them on thier S2k? If so, how do they look. I noticed that they have a good tread wear and you can tell by looking at the tread too. I was wondering if the profile still looks okay on the S2k. I know they are the same profile as our OEM tires but I have seen some tires that are the same size but look a little bigger then others...

Anyway, if you have seen these on an S2k please let me know. All I care to know is how they look, I own them on another car in another size and they are great (performance and looks wise) on that car.

I would not recommend that tire on the S2K. They are not a real good handling tire. I would go to the Sumitomo HTRZ III for the same kind of price for a lot better handling tire. The HTRZ III is still going to give you better tread life as well.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
