C63 tyre recommendation

[Mitch16]

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 2016 C63 on 19” wheels. It is on Michelin super sports although the rears will soon need replacing / really struggle in the cold and wet.
I would welcome any recommendations please for better road use (I don’t need any track performance).

Thank you.

I’m on Michelin PS4S and find them great for fast road use. You can go a bit wider than stock too as the stock sizes are considered a little conservative in certain circles.

I've moved to Eagle F1's - much better than the stock tyres (grippier in the dry, not as harsh ride) and as the previous poster suggests, consider upsizing the width to protect the rims.

Thanks for the reply’s.
I can’t find the PS4s in the 265/35 size on 19”. Did you have to go widerto get them? Same for the Goodyear.
All the reviews confirm it would give me exactly what I want.

I can see 265 profile on the Goodyears available at Merityre (other retailers available etc etc).

Everyone recommends PS4S for the rear on a C63, I had been waiting months for them, due to no stock in the UK, the rears were really low so had to go with Continental Sport Contact 6 which are OK but traction is a massive problem. Roll on those 2 days in summer when I can put my foot down without the rear end trying to pass me.

I think you need 265/30 19's on the back not 35 profile. 265/30 have the same rolling road radius as 255/30. The fronts are the 35 profile as narrower.
Tyreleader has the PS2 and super sports but not the PS4.

Have you tried Oponeo?

Thanks for the tip on tyreleader. I will keep an eye on it. It seems PS4s are out of stock at the moment.
Just checked and the rears and fronts are both 35 profile. The rears are 265 and the fronts 245.

Im. On 19s on my w204 what width could I go upto f and r?

I’m going to fit Yokohama AD08-Rs when I get the winters off in March. Awesome tyres on previous cars.

Anyone running them or has done?

2016 would be a 205 I think.

This size in PS4s have been out of stock since August last year !!

Ahh sorry realised W205 mine is a W204 . But yes keep an eye on tyre leader

Just looked at Camskills website and they have loads of Michelin tyres in the size you mention.

No Pilot Sport 4 S though

My rears are 265/35/19 also on a C63S!
I must have got one of the last sets of PS4S from Camskill, had to drive a down the A9 today in fairly slippy conditions but no drama at all, I was a little apprehensive setting off but all good

[Mitch16]

Thanks all.

I don’t need new tyres urgently so am going to hold out a bit and see if PS4s come back in stock. I will ring protyre and a few others on Monday and share any information I can find. My understanding is that they are a better everyday tyre than the Super Sports.

Based on reviews and helpful feedback on here I think I would still prefer super sports to continental or Dunlops which are also available in the right size.

Got the Conti 5ps on mine - have to say they’ve been suprisingly great so far on icy/muddy country B road commute to the train station early morning and late evening.

Apologies to go over old ground again..

Time really has come for me to fit new tyres to my C63 salon now (19”).

From my research the preferred option seems to be the Michelin PS4s which are now back in stock in my size. Reviews conclude as good as the standard MPSS in the dry but much better in the cold and wet (welcome news!!)

There is also now the new Goodyear supersport (just launched) but not many reviews other than it might be even better than the MPS4s in the wet but ride is a little firmer.

I don’t do track days nor do I need the pinnacle of dry cornering grip, just a well balanced tyre that can improve the cars traction in cold and wet.

Please can anyone share any feedback they have if you have moved from MPSS to something else.

Thanks
