C63 tyre recommendation

[belleair302]

These are specifically for winter driving. Yes they work very well at 7c or lower, great in rain, across frosty roads and wet leaves. Slightly more noisy than Continentals however. They work very well at 10c but much above this you will notice a drop off in grip and an increase in wear. I put winter tyres on around now, ie last week and they come off towards the end of March when the clocks go forward. Then it is Goodyears for me.

Ok thanks

Do you have 2 sets of rims or are you taking the all seasons and winters on and off twice a year?

I'd rather not have to buy another set of rims, wouldn't be cheap!

I have two sets of rims. Makes life so much more simple.

Everyone on the facebook page bangs on about the mich p4s, but i seem to get through them in 1800 miles for the rears and theyre not THAT good in the wet, thinking about going back to the old evo tires i used use like the goodyear assymetric f1's or proxes.

1800 miles. Bloody hell.

I've done about 8k on my current set of tyres (Nexen Nfera's), and they still have plenty of life left, even the rears.

Jesus they were part worn when I bought it and now with c2k more on them there are Thousands upon thousands of miles left (touching wood). Then again I commute in mine so driving style is much more “relaxed”.

Lol I couldn’t face 11 pairs of rear tyres a year on my use .....

Your car needs attention ASAP (are they wearing evenly?!) or you're literally hooning everywhere. Which is it? If you're talking about PS4S - the distinction is important over the original PS4 - they outlast any performance tyre by literally thousands of miles and out-perform almost anything in the wet. They're not magic though, so if you drive like a knob 24/7 or your car is broken they'll wear accordingly

I have a 2017 c63 AmG s coupe currently with worn Pirelli p zeros which I don’t rate for traction. They are 285, 30, 19 on the rear and 255, 35, 19 on the fronts. Looking at Michelin PS4S but noticed on this thread others are 265 on the rear rather than 285 which mine are. Just wondered which are the correct size as the previous owner of mine may have put oversized tyres on.

Does the label inside the fuel flap not tell you the tyre size? If not, the manual should do.

I’ll see if I can find the handbook. Unfortunately inside the fuel cap only states the pressures and not the sizes.
