C43 Tires

I have 2018 C43 AMG I purchase in 4/11/18. I have roughly 10,115 miles on car. I have the Pirelli Pzero 225/40R19 - Front and Pirelli Pzero 255/35R19.
I noticed the fronts are started to wear more than back. How long did these tires last you?
I really don't get on it too much, just daily driving.
Seems odd that tires can last maybe 10k miles.

Too many
also make sure they do alignment on the car, most cars come from factory with bad alignment and that can accelerate tire wear

Fact is "Full Alignment" - OEM is only Front and Rear TOE "directional" adjustment.

No essential "Camber" or "Caster" to adjust tire contact angles to resolve costly, premature edge tire wear.

We saw the need therefore to re-instate from the early 90's full, precise adjustment capability.

Catering for other than "showroom height" conditions - Day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads, altered height. Fitting wide profile tires along with correctly resolving steering pull and "ongoing" adjustment capability for curb knock damage.

Fixing it right the 1st time - no more the frustration of going from one dealer or alignment shop to the next or constantly changing tire brands in the endeavor to resolve this edge tire wear brought about by having only basic "Toe" adjustment.

K-MAC unique patented design replacing the 4 front and 4 rear highest wearing suspension bushings at the same time. Providing precise "single wrench" adjustment (accurately "under load" - direct on the alignment rack).

We manufacture the world's largest range of adjuster kits and the experience of being the longest established manufacturer (see web site "ABOUT US")

Another popular kit manufactured is uprated replacement bushings for the '6' rear multi link arms - less twitch, flex, loss of traction especially when applying power to

lane change / overtake.

C300 - 450, C43 AMG 4MATIC

Front Camber and Caster kit #503416K $480
Rear Camber (and extra Toe) kit #502226K $480
Rear multi link bush kit #502628K $480

DELIVERY WORLDWIDE $40 one kit ($20 each extra).

If you search the forum you will see that the stock Pirelli run flats are pos's. They wear very quickly.. the fronts wearing much faster than the rears.

Stock Continental RF's lasted me 18k miles. Switched to Pilot Sport AS3+'s up front only and they're still looking fresh at 30k miles as of today. Rears are finally about toast though. I'll be swapping to AS3+'s and upping to 265s here in a few weeks.

I purchased my C43 pre-owned and the dealership replaced the OEM tires with new ones because even at 10k miles they were already bald. The new ones they put on are the same Contisportcontact OEM tire and this time they lasted 8k miles. The front tires are at 3/32 and the rear are at 6/32. This is my first staggered fit car so I wonder if this is normal.

I plan on ordering Michelin AS3+ next week.

My car came with the Pirelli Pzero’s and I just had one blowout at 1500 miles.I have the tire/wheel coverage so the dealership is replacing it. However, when I brought the car in, they couldn’t replace it because Pirelli just discontinued it. Now the dealership is going to replce both rear tires with the new model run flat. They temporarily gave me a p-zero off another car just so they could get me back on the road. I go in next week to have thm both replaced.
