They are good tires, but nothing special. I wouldn't get run flats, too heavy and expensive.
If you want good Bridgestone tires then go with RE-11's.

If you just have them laying around I would put them on after your stock tires get worn down.

The German most known car magazine AutoBild tested the best tires for the C63 and the result was that the perfect tire for the C63 is Pirelli P-Zero

Olszowa12: the pzero's are great tyres for european roads due to the weather and condition if the road. It doesnt have a comfortable ride compared to others.

In terms of hot and humid weather, the ps2's have an advantage.

That might be true. I haven't considered that. Anyway I ordered the P-Zero's to see if I can spot some difference over Michelin Pilot Sports I had this summer.

Review them when you get the chance. I live in Houston. Mostly warm/hot and humid all the time.

Could be load rated issue that's why they refused. Plus the tires you have might be just for BmW like they have special ones for mb that say (MO)
