Winter Tire Clarification
Hi i just recently purchased a used 2009 c63 with factory 18" rims, i was wondering if 235/40/18 winter tires for all corner would work. Will the stretch be a lot in the rears? I live in Canada and the winters are really harsh so the narrower the better. I've done a couple of searches and read that a few of you do run this, but i just want extra clarification. Thanks!

Those tires will fit fine without stretching on the OEM 18x9 rear wheels, although Mercedes does recommend you go to a 18x8 wheel out back if you decide to use 235's all around. It's not an issue.

Here's a pic of mine with the winters on, all stock back then...

So in your case, I'd suggest something more "winter" like Blizzaks.
