I would appreciate information from someone who has already taken delivery regarding what kind of tires came on their C63. I'm scheduled for European Delivery in March... however.... there is a relatively new law there requiring winter or M/S tires during "winter" or whenever road conditions would warrant such a tire. From what I can tell, the end of April marks the end of winter. I know from personal experience that it can snow that late in southern Bavaria and Austria. By the way, if you are caught without the prescribed rubber or are in an accident deemed to have been caused by the lack of said rubber, you can be fined 5,000 euros. They are very fussy about these things over there.

I asked the gentleman arranging the delivery if he could verify that the car would come equipped with tires suitable for the season in which I'm taking delivery. Apparently the response from MB was "Nein. If you need winter tires, then don't buy the car in winter" or something equally charitable. It is amazing to me that a car company building its reputation on engineering and safety for 100 years, would be so cavalier in response to a request for legal/safe tires. I'm not angry about their response, just disappointed.

So, what I'm wanting to know is what kind of tire I can expect to see when I get to the factory, and then do some research in regards to what kind of dry or wet handling I can expect... then adjust my itinerary to suit.

Thanks in advance

I believe they're all equiped with the new P-Zero's

Mine came with Pirelli PZero.

That's interesting, because the TireRack has the ContiSport3 as OE tires. I couldn't remember and was trying to price them out for aftermarket wheels.

Balz

mine came with pzeros

NORTH 44 C63

P30 pack in Europe comes with the 19", ContiSport 3 or Yokohama ADVAN S

The Non P30 gets 18" P-Zero's


So far anyway....
