Hey all,

Looking to put some new rubber on my C63s Edition 1 this summer, whats the best option? Also I want to increase over stock, is it still recommended to up to 245 Front, 265 Rear? Can you go bigger on stock wheels?

Thanks

Most you can go is 255/275 on the stock rims.

Thanks JPM

Any recommendations on what brand and type?

Currently I am using Pirelli Trofeo R and they are just like track tires.
All my friends have Michelin Cup2 for their F8x M3 and M4. They are very good too but requires some time to get ut warm up.
BS RE71R should be a good choice too.

I came to the BS Potenza RE-11 255/35/19 and 275/30/19 seem like a very good choice tire, and reasonably priced. $1130 for all 4, my dealer said they would install them for me. I am not thrilled with thee life of the 71R and I do not track the car so I see no need.

Just saw the RE11 do not have a Y speed rating, thinking bout just going with the PSS in a larger size now

I am thinking about Yokohama AD08R in 255/275 for my next tire. I haven't used them on my C63s yet, but I had them on my M4 and I liked them very much. Definitely better handling than the M4 stock PSS.

Michelin pss have not let down. I have lots of experience/feedback with W204 and GTR but not on this model. Worth a look as they are also somewhat reasonable in price.

Are people running 255/35-19F and 275/35-19R? Or would it better to go 285/30-19 rear?

Michellin PSS would get my vote.
