I put on Michelin PS4S on my 19s - best performance tire at this point. It changed everything for me. But almost any non run flat will do most of that.

With my salesman's advice, I went with the std 18' wheels. Much smoother and more rubber between you and the road. The std. C43 coupe wheels were also nice looking as well so no reason to upgrade
to 19".. Glad I didn't. Big improvement in comfort with stock tires.

I'm currently driving on Dunlop SportMaxx RT (non-runflats) which the car was delivered with from factory. The comfort regarding the tires is actually better than my previously 2016 C-class with 18" Bridgestone runflats. The road noise could be better on rough surface though. When it's time for changing the tires, I will go for Michelin PS4S after some research.

Getting a set of PS4's tomorrow, also in 19. What is the road noise like? Better of worse than PS2? Which is what I have had for the last couple of years.
