Tires recommendations for 2015 C400
Hi everyone, it's time to replace my tires and I'm trying to figure out what to opt for.
Some considerations -
1. Run Flats vs Normal tires (given that we don't have spare wheel, does it make sense to invest in one if we go with normal tires?)
2. Continental vs Michelin vs Pirelli?
I checked with my costco tire center, and they recommended Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP as recommended tires, however was checking on TireRack, and it says there that it's not recommended for C400.
Any recommendations?

I run Michelin Pilot Supersports and keep a Seal & Fill kit in the trunk, but any high end conventional tire in the OEM sizes will work on your car. The Supersports aren't all season so if you need those the AS3 is a good choice, as are the Conties. I've run the Conties as well but I prefer the Michelins by a slim margin for smoothness.

No snow where I live, but I do drive around a bit, and hence still considering to keep the "all season" option. But any compelling reasons for Summer vs All seasons?
Currently I was considering the Michelins AS3+. Also anyone switched to normal tires from the default run flats? and any upside with that switch?

Like Mike5215 I picked up a flat tire kit to keep in the trunk which includes a pump and a can of sealant

Just switched recently going from Pirelli run flats on 19s to Michelin newest tire the pilot sport 4s I wish I did it sooner. Such a better ride such better handling and quieter too.
