NORTH 44 C63

5 hard track days and 7,000 Klm I think the RE11's are shot. They were a GREAT combo street and track tire. They will be hard to beat.

Enter 4 new Michelin PSS's 255.35.19F 275.30.19R

HIRO63

Im thinking of changing my tire soon and thinking what size I should put on.

So putting on 255 front and 275 rear was no problem? No rubbing?

I have same wheel on the picture of yours and lowered with KW Clubsports.

What is the best size you think?

NORTH 44 C63

I don't have any issue with my stock p30 setup. I did push the Camber to -2 degrees so that did help a little. It may be close with the ClubSports. Whats the drop from stock??

Ive been looking at the RE-11's or PSS as my next tire setup also, Please let us know how the grip and treadlife is on the Michelins.

aznkuja328

me too.

regarding tread life, i am sure pss will last longer, but how about sidewall stiffness, cornering control, and dry traction?

are the 255s in the fronts good? it makes the steering feels more stable right?

i am deciding among re11, ad08, and pss...

Those RE11s look pretty good based on what you put them through. Good luck with the SSs.

You Think they might be shot? Must have been some interesting final laps.

NORTH 44 C63

So far so good. Only about 200Klm on them today. The 255's feel more planted and turn in is quick and predictable. (street)

Wear should be better considering the 300 Treadwear rating vs 180 on the RE11's. Sidewalls are plenty stiff in the 19" variety.

Next track day isn't until Aug 3rd. will update after that...

LOL.. I've had the PSS's in my garage for a month now so I was anxious to make the change (Kid in Candy Store syndrome) Originally expected to get 1st week of August but ran an extra track day on Sunday and it was REALLY hot!! Took a fair amount of life off the RE11's. Almost swapped them out on Monday but figured they were good for 1 last event. (Yesterday)

The last tank of the day (140 Kilometers) was on the edge a good amount of the time. Really pushed it to the limit. Good times.

Here is a link to a Vid PC V (C55) shot of a few of our last laps. He cooked his fronts in the process. He very did well keeping up!! It was a great day had by all.

I have some in car video as well but need to find the time to edit and post. Maybe on the weekend... Have to figure out FCPX

I was very impressed with the Re11's. Expectations are high for the PSS's Some say the track much like the PSCups. Time will tell

You'll like the Super Sports. Can't yet speak to their longevity though.

This is the same setup I want to run, same 19" AMG wheels but keep debating if I should run Michelin PSS 255/265 or 255/275.
Sounds like 255/275 is going to fit perfectly.

I'm a tire geek, if you can take a quick cell phone pic of the rear it would be greatly appreciated.

They are supposed to be better then the PS2's in terms of grip and tread life which is a great thing.

255's are pretty wide for the front, especially Michelins because they run wide to begin with. Only other 255 tire ive seen mounted in the front for a C63 was the Toyo T1R tire which run pretty narrow.
Wider tires should definitely improve grip and cornering.

My Hankooks are almost done so I gotta shop around. Only thing Im worried about is rubbing since im lowered on springs, 275's would be cutting it pretty close.

Where did you source the ME20's and did you use them for track days only?

_AMG_

North 44, did you have any rubbing issues with the 275 RE-11's?

NORTH 44 C63

Let me see what I can do. Its dark here now..

NORTH 44 C63

Sourced directly from Endless. (Check PM) The ME20's for the C63 are special order and take 4-6 weeks to get out of Japan. Use them 24 /7

NORTH 44 C63

Not sure if this angle is what your after. Let me know.

_AMG_

Any rubbing with the 275 RE-11's?

NORTH 44 C63

Sorry I missed your question. Getting old.....

No issues with rubbing on the 275 RE11

PSS's are close but clearing all around

Thanks. I was hoping to see a pic from the side - facing the tire.
Want to see how the sidewall height looks.

It's not a big deal, I can live without it.

alrasheed1991

North44 does 255 on front fits well with out any rubbing do I need to do any or it is fit fine with 19" ?

Thanks

Here you go>>> 36Lbs stone cold

NORTH 44 C63

Close but no rubbing anywhere. Good to go>>>

Just a note. The treadlife numbers for tires is not a standard measurement. You cannot compare one manufacturer to another on the treadlife number. They don't correlate. You can generally count on them within the same manufacturer but even that isn't always true, sometimes it only holds in a tire sub-type within that one manufacturers tire inventory.

So, theoretically, a 200 rated tire might last longer than a 300 rated tire from another company.
