Okay, So I'm fed up with the stock pirelli runflats. It really holds the car back in the canyons and it's frustrating at this point. What tires did you get? How many miles have you had on them? how do they perform (cornering wise)? anyone run a wider set up in the rear and front?
Continental ProContact GX SSR (all-season, grand touring runflats) on my '18 C43 with 18" wheels.
Only 500 miles on them as the car is only a few weeks old. These tires are severely lacking from a performance standpoint. Stiff sidewalls. Minimal feedback. Average grip. Decent ride quality. Only plus is that they are much quieter than the sticky Continental ContiSportContact 5P max performance summer tires I had on my C63.
I currently have my OEM ProContact set up for sale.
Just purchased s set of Continental DWS06 all season extreme performance.The ride is much better than the standard runflats.The shock & thump when you hit a bump or pothole is much less severe.They are also very quiet.I have yet to try them on a really curvy road but they feel much more stable than the original tires.

Pilot AS3+ are a much better performance AS option if you choose to stay the course once the GX SSRs are worn. I'm very happy with mine.

Have you made a decision between all seasons and summer tires?
I had a set of the Hankooks on my old IS350. Seriously great tire for the price, but if you have any snow or ice, they have zero grip. I got stuck in my driveway for 3 days in Texas because those tires would spin at idle on ice. They were quiet, offered pretty good traction, very good in the rain, but they had a slightly spongey feeling through the steering wheel. That might have to do with their soft sidewall.
More expensive summer tires to consider: Michelin PS4 and Bridgestone Pole Position S-04.

I had the dealer remove the run flats & install Michelin Pilot Sport 4S XL’s before I took delivery of the car. They feel glued to the road around corners & through hard acceleration runs & I have put 1800 miles on them so far. I had them on my previous vehicle as well-a Nissan Maxima SR. My 43 came with the stock 18” 5 spoke wheels, so tire sizes were 225/45ZR-18 & 245/40ZR-18...245’s being in the rear.

Thank you for taking the time to link those, although none of those threads addressed anything i wrote regarding my tire preference etc..hence why i made this thread!

It literally took <45sec to compile. The only question of yours not addressed at some point in those threads is the different widths. To address that, here's a neat little tool and potential search term. I use the word "potential" lightly...I searched the results first.

I don't see anyone talking about those, other than the michelins. No one addressed cornering capability. Not sure why you're uptight about me creating this thread, This is a forum, multiple threads regarding similar topics will be posted, deal with it buddy. Go address the people that come on here with engine issues rather than going to dealer LOL.

I also started a thread for summer tires a few months ago. It will pop up if you use the search tool.
Maybe he no tok anglaise good or no capish compatutor thing, no need to jump in his anush, enjoy the site for what it is...the more posts the better IMO. Rgardless if its been covered already. Damn if that was the case She would never get it more than once.

Well played.
The overall point is that there are responses in similar threads if you're creative with your searching, as opposed to starting a whole new thread with a vague, ambiguous thread title. If you're to the point where you've searched and determined you need to start a new thread, at least be specific with your titles. All you've done is muddy the waters to make it more difficult to find the information not only you are looking for, but potentially others. Did you consider posting your question in an existing, similar thread before starting another?
This isn't a personal attack on you. I'm sure you're keen enough to know this happens on every forum out there. The difference is that with so many models, the admin sticky support/management is spread thin. It'd be nice if we had a C43 specific sticky for all the key things (tuning, tires, common issues, etc), but that's not the reality we're in. There are 1600+ threads in this subsection alone. The answers to your questions are there. So, yeah...I'm recommending that you do everyone a favor and utilize the search.
