If you want max HP, that's another story.

Best performance mod IMO:

Ditch the runflats for top shelf conventional tires.

BMS is active on here. JB4 is very popular with the 43s. It's the best piggyback available for the platform.

The vast majority are on PS4s, or AS3+s for those in areas with more variable climate.

c
running Conti extreme contact sport which are about 20% less than the PS4S and have a better life on them for little sacrifice on performance. love them

that being said would easily go with whatever is cheaper out of those two for HPS tires.

There are also some tires coming to market that are offering similar performance for a fraction of the cost. so if you're on a budget there are other options.

I think I may of asked this somewhere, but the JB4 on the 2019/2020 using only Map1 or 2 doesn't make much of difference in terms of HP gains, does it? Don't you need the add on BCM?

I don't think that's accurate; generally speaking any mod even something as basic as aftermarket air filter may void the warranty if dealer determines it caused the failure. And I pretty much sure dealer can easily detect a removed tuner if they dig a little deep.

The gains are substantial vs stock for 19/20 models on map1 or map2, but not as high as pre-2019 models unless BCM is also added.

Pilot AS3+ on the C450. The AS3+ perform like a good summer tire year round. If I lived someplace a bit warmer I'd run PS4s. A bit colder, and I'd run PS4s and alternate with Winter tires.

I just put a pair of Conti DWS06 on the GLC. I like them so far. AS3+ is a little grippier but I don't drive the GLC as hard or often as the C450.
