I have gotten about 13k miles on my tires and have been told they need replacing. It seems a little short.

What's typical for all of you guys?

I get like 15,000km out of a set. With this much power you will wear rear tires out in a snap.

13K is actually alot.

Most people get 8k-12k miles on their tires depending how aggressive they drive.

We have a very aggressive camber setting on the C63 as well. That hurts tire wear for sure. If you get 13,000 you are a lucky man. Just enjoy the ride

I have about 11K on my tires and probably get another 2k or 3k left, mostly highway driving.

I have never gotten more than 10,200 miles out of mine. 13k is amazing! And i even have the rear toe adjusted to help tire wear. In the last 34k miles i have gone through 3 sets of rears and am half way through another set. In that time I've gone through almost 2 sets of fronts. In about 5k i will have to replace all 4 again.

I've got about 16K miles on the PSS on the rear and they don't need replacing yet. I had the dealer take out as much toe-in as possible, but keep it in spec.


You'll get more miles from the PSS than the P Zero if that's what you had.

Tire Lifetime….. Since the mid ‘90 model’s, with the ever increasing speed of vehicle assembly lines there has been no front or rear Camber (or front Caster) adjustment facility fitted OEM!

Only current adjustment is front and rear Toe.

To attempt to return vehicle to factory specs to resolve premature inner edge tire wear, improve traction, and fix steering pull the only current alternative for Camber and Caster is to fit offset, slotted bolts (for the front only). But these are inaccurate one only position bolts offering a minimal .3 of one degree adjustment (3mm).

It’s no wonder many owners continually change tire brands or go from one MB Dealer or alignment shop to another trying to get it right/fix the problem!

We saw the need therefore "to fix it right the first time" by designing, developing, patenting (and re-instating from the 1990's) fully adjustable front (and rear) suspension for virtually all models.

The current K-MAC kits have up to 4 times the adjustment of the one position offset bolts (both Positive or Negative). And unlike these offset one position bolts they can be accurately adjusted - under load, direct on alignment turntable (no need to remove and reinstall each time).

Ongoing, precise adjustment of both Camber and Caster settings if altering suspension height, fitting wide profile tires/wheels, curb knock damage or being able to quickly fine tune/change specs on race days. Extra Negative (plus track width) to go deeper into the corners/lower lap times. With the unique K-MAC patented design only requires use of a single wrench/no disassembly.

For the rear, similar kits for precise Camber adjustment (with additional Toe to compensate for the new Camber facility). Importantly unlike the alternative adjustable Camber arms K-MAC rear kits do not move top of tire outwards - this reducing the essential clearance top of tire to outer fender when adjusting to fix premature inner edge tire wear/improve rear traction.

Also instead of spherical bearings as used on control arms which prematurely pound out allowing metal to metal contact. At K-MAC we have developed long life elastomer bushings.
Bonus with the four front and four rear bushes is that they are also designed with twice the load bearing area and replace the highest wearing suspension bushings. And with K-MAC no special tools are required to fit.

My continentals have 7k on them and at best have another 2k left. I can already feel them slipping in 3rd gear.

It's the rear toe that is way too aggressive and causes more rear tire wear.

Knock the rear toe down 75% and your tires will last a lot longer.

Also running too soft of a tire will get chewed up quicker. Majority of guys put around with esp on and commute to work, yet they think they need a RE11 or PSS on the rear. I run hard all seasons on the rear, they last forever and are cheap as dirt. They spin slightly more on a cold day then a softer tire does. I've done track days with the all seasons on the back, just a bit more tail happy.

Merc63

Bull****. I can barely spin the tires in third with 750hp, unless it's a very cold day.

Sandy and salty roads down here on the beach in South Florida? I don't know what to tell you. I'm not saying that I am doing full smokey spins in third gear; but, the traction light is flashin' and I can feel them slippin' when I mash the gas and computer downshifts into 3rd.

Wow I only had 7000km (4400 miles?) and my tires feel like they need a change already.

SPMS

“I’ve got a 2” drop with rear wheel squat. No way will Toe fix the excess inner edge tire wear! It’s definitely too much negative Camber”.

It's really great milage

5k7k then they are slicks
