What tire did your car originally come with?
 
Any difference if its a C350 or C300 or C200?

I got the Michelin Pilot Sports but I noticed some had Continentals as well. I don't think there is a reliable way to know which car will come with which tire...:confused:

joshg1001 11-11-2008 01:20 PM

Contis on my 18" AMG wheels. im pretty sure the 18"s come with the contis

wblynch 11-11-2008 01:22 PM

My S.A. built C350 came with Michelin HX MXM4's

nukefixer 11-11-2008 02:06 PM

Continentals
 
My US 300 Sport came with Continentals on the AMG wheels

Ron Jr 11-11-2008 02:37 PM

Contis on mine both OEM and aftermarket.

Petje 11-11-2008 02:57 PM

I think al German builds come with Continental.... all my MB's has come with Conti's.... Now i have Michelins on my 19" and i like the Michelin's more than the Conti's

French made Bridgestone Turanza's on a German built Australian delivery 220CDI !!

Michelins on mine (love them btw), mines a German build. :)

I have Continental ProContact on my 17" C300.

The 18" AMG all come with Continental SportContact3's.

The 17's whether on the 300 or 350, SA or German build, come with either Michelin Pilot HX's or Conti ProContacts.

Unless you upgraded to the 18" wheels, I believe they just take whatever they have laying around to be honest.... I've seen luxury models and sport models both with continentals and michelins that were all german builds.

For the record, I have michelins and a continental spare! !?!?!?

I was in Germany last year, rented a 220CDI, yes, it was wearing the same rubbers.

Mine will be the 18" AMG, and hoping to get Pilot Sport 2. But I guess CSC3 are good alternatives as well.

German build, ordered late July - Continentals.

Contis

Star & Laurel 11-14-2008 11:12 AM

I believe that factory option 18" AMG wheels from Germany came with Conti's. If the dealer added the 18's and an Accessory they had an option to go with Contis' or Michelin's. That might be the discrepancy here. Not sure about S.A. build cars and what they came with.

Mine is a German build with factory option 18's and they cam with conti's

ayilar 11-14-2008 11:23 AM

S-A May build, ContiPRoContacts. Finding the CPCs noisier by the day. Yes, they are fine -- but the new Pilot Sport A/S Plus I put on my coupe are better and quieter.

Luisin 11-15-2008 05:03 AM

i have a C180k with AMG package and my car has 225 front, 245 rear, and both are michelin pilot sport

many years ago, mercedes had marangoni in european models :O

zankok 11-15-2008 06:47 AM

My September '07 build C300 came with 17" Contis which were removed before delivery when I bought '18s and installed Bridgestone RE-050As. i sold the unused Contis on Craigslist (with great difficulty) for $275 and glad to get it.

I don't like the Conti's much but I will let them weardown and get some Perelli's...

Chaz00Blue 11-26-2008 08:48 AM

I have the Michelin's on my German built C350, and I am very happy. almost 18,000 miles on them and still almost no sign of wear.
