Welcome to the club! I have just turned 21500kms and put my third set on for $2000

c63crazy

honestly idk what happened...i launched the car a couple of times and today i drifted it for about a minute and its already to the tread ware mark.......i purchased the warranty from the dealership on the wheels and tires....what excuse could i use for it to be covered under warranty?

Fangster

I am in Australia and it is beyond me how you could get a warranty on tyre wear. My first set of tyres went est after 50 or so laps of Sandown Racecourse. That was the rears only and at 8000kms. I replaced all 4 tyres last week at 21500kms and this time I went to Goodyear Eagle F1 instead of the Pirellis.

My car has an LSD but I do not drift or do burn outs.

whats the difference on tirerack.com between extreme performance summer and max performance summer?

c63crazy

wow i just checked on tirerack.com for our tires...(http://www.tirerack.com/survey/Surve...reModel=PZero#) there are about 5 different reviews and everyone has had to change their tires with only 5,000 miles on them

Jeremy Clarkson trashed the C63 rear tires down to cord in 40 miles, so don't feel too bad

must be these ny roads

EURO KNG

or all that hp and torque

Quadcammer

hp and torque has very little to do with it. Many cars have far more power and do not go through their tires as quickly.

EURO KNG

yeah but when you have 451hp stock your more likely to lose your tire tread faster.

OK, what do you think is the reason of tyre wear on C63?

Quadcammer

poor tire choice, possibly suspect alignment, aggressive driving, etc.

c32AMG-DTM

These are valid, but vehicle weight and torque have a LOT to do with tire wear.

JM

going on my third set now... also

get ZR1 StarSpec

good tires

Fangster

It does not help that the tyres cannot be rotated and also run at 40psi

peet

While I can't help you get cheap tires now, I can help you extend your tire life...

Pull out 4 of the 8 spark plug cables. Problem fixed.

Are you running 255 or 265 rears?

I am thinking about trading in E63 for C63.
Does rear tires wear out that fast?
My E63 has 31,000 miles and only went thru 1 set+ one rear left tire so far.
Is it that bad? or does it depends on how you drive?
I know that it is hard not to push that gas pedal.
Anyone who put more than 10,000 miles on their tires?
Besides, what you guys think about the move from E63 to C63?


Thanks in advance

The best way to get more tread life is to switch from the crappy Pirelli's with which the C63 comes equipped.
