They do. But BMWs are rear wheel drive (and a few all wheel drive models too), so they are adding the width to the rear to help with traction. They even put 19s rear & 18s up front on the new M3. But wider tires on the rear of a CL won't help you any (it may even cause some adverse effects).

I'm not sure.............anyone else?

For tires, check:

We are pleased at 52,000
Went to TireRack and bought Continential Touring. Had NTB mount them and the total was less than $370.00

I recommend Pirellis. I've got them on my CL and my M Roadster. The CL doesn't require ultra-high-performance like the M, so the P6000 or P7000 should do the trick.
