You want little to no wheelspin when taking off and one of the best high performance set you can get, then get Goodyear F1's.... Ps2's are also good but the F1's are one hell of performance tires.

Must we bring up the 18 year old who killed himself and 4 of his friends in "his" M5 last year?
The fact of the matter is that 18 year-olds think that they are invincible, and this translates particularly to driving. When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was 18 I'm glad that I didn't have a car, let alone a 451 horsepower rocketship like the C63.
The OP himself admitted that he drives unsafely ("200 just to play with the car"), and who wants to bet that when he's "playing" with the car his friends are in the passenger seats egging him on. Absolute recipe for disaster putting a car like this in the hands of a new teenage driver.
And to the guy who made the comment about "small men with a lot of power", give me a break. Obviously, not all cops are angels, but I'm sure if this story had read differently, and instead of getting a ticket, the OP took the turn too fast, lost control, and mowed down 3 kids on their way home from school, there would have been outcry that the community complained and the cops did nothing. You can't have it both ways...

Sorry I only drive 1 person never more
Because the Law of British Columbia and my N sign permits me to drive only 1 extra passenger

Not trying to be a jerk here, but you can't openly disregard traffic regulations with one of your posts then try and stand behind them in another.

We should all have a bet where we try to determine which driver under the age of 25 will be the first fatality with this car. Lets start by listing everyone under the age of 25 here by username. People under the age of 25 cannot bet because they will contaminate the results.

As far as staying on topic, I just got my tires changed. I figured since I don't drive fast at all, I don't really need the "performance" tires so I just went cheap and went with Kumho tires just to save money. I paid 471 at discount tires in the states for 2 rears, how the hell do you pay 2100 for 4 tires is beyond me. To translate, you paid about 1050 for 2 tires. That's about 2.5 times more than me.

....which translates to spending money 
To be honest the kumhos I have on now it's not that bad. The comfortability of it is not as good as the Pzeros, however, it's not that far off

If you are not a driver to push your car to its limits (i.e. driving fast) then why an AMG? Why not a normal C-Class? It costs less, and it does not require you to have tires that are designed and tested with the car.
