2012 C63 Coupe
19" AMG 16 spoke wheel question
I just picked up my C63 Coupe 4 days ago 
and I have a question about the 19", 16-spoke wheel option...
I should point out that I have a preschool level knowledge of wheels and tires.
The wheels are 19x8 in the front and 19x9 in the back and come with 235/35 and 255/30 tires. I've been driving around in the Vancouver rain for the past 4 days (1.5 tanks of gas in ) and realize that the 255's just aren't gonna cut it.
My questions are what are the max tire widths I can fit on the front and back and any tire brand recommendations??
Thanks!

Max width you can fit on the OEM 19" wheels are 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear.
Look into Hankook EVO V12's, they are great tires for the money but if your willing to spend the extra coin I would highly recommend Michelin Super Sports.

I agree with AMG assessment, but I prefer Continental Extreme Contact DWS. I absolutely love these tire on my E63. My C63 has Yokohamas. remember one thing, if you planning on driving in the snow, you want to go narrower not wider.
