what brand of tires would you guys recommend for my c63 sedan 2013. same size as the originals . my car came with yokos. thanks

zcct04

It depends on your needs. I see that you're in Quebec. Are you looking for an all-season tire or just something for summer use? What's more important to you - tire cost, tire life, or ultimate traction? Do you want tires that will be comfortable on the street or do you want something you can take to the track?

Tell us a little about your interests and you'll get some good recommendations here.

Michelin Pilot Sports Summer Tires end of thread. Buy them from tire rack or have a local shop price match their prices.

I was told to go for a 35 profile on the rears over the 30 profile, something about the rims being a bit delicate? Is this right?

Yes, Michelin PSS, 265/30/19 for the rear or something a bit cheaper but good, try the Conti DW's

dont ever buy PSS's ...garbage tire, infact I have 4 sitting on my deck in the rain in garbage bags thats how bad they are, ive gone through 8 PSS total and all of them crumbled..even the fronts. Yeah yeah good for michelin on getting most car companies to run them stock, but they aren't that great

I've been using falken FK453 for a year now and never will go back, the tire lasts forever, hooks up like crazy in rain and never hydroplanes

Good luck hooking up on a PSS in the rain, even with an upgraded diff the T/C blinks like crazy

the series is upto you, I run super low pro rubberbands (25 series) and it's fine, but if i were to go my setup again i'd go for 35 on the rear

What kind of mileage were you getting out of them? crumbled? chunking on the shoulders? Did the tires see track time?

+1 on Michelin PSS. Great grip in dry and wet, plus excellent treadwear.

If you were to do a poll, most would say PSS... I've never tried them, but planned on trying them next or DW's. Presently running FK453 but not impressed with linear grip, my previous G-Max's were better but I don't care for unidirectional tires on our cars.

+1 for PSS.

I'm in Montreal, got new rears, Bridgestone Potenza RE760 because I couldn't find the PSS anywhere, and the RE760 seemed well reviewed and are pretty well priced. I'm running PSS on my fronts and will eventually get PSS on rear.
Haven't put on my summers yet, still too damn cold

under 5,000 KM and never saw the track and chunking on shoulders/in the middle of the tire..quite odd to be honest, never had another tire do it

avery.whss

i've had these for a year the FK453...you won't like the PSS ...its like a hockey puck until you do a few burnouts and scare people, FK453 hooks up perfect and isn't overly hard

if you can't hook up, well it ain't the tires..it's that sloppy OEM Diff MB put in our cars
