There are a lot of tire threads...just use the search and you will find some great info! Some have gone with the Pilot Sport A/S with good results.

The way C63’s go through tyres, it’s seems as though a thread is started every other day on the subject.

Maybe it’s time there was a STICKY on them where everyone’s thoughts can be gathered together.

I bought the Continental ExtremeContact DWS. They're not terribly expensive $184front / $212rear.

245-35R19
275-30R19

No rubbing, very quiet, has a great treadwear rating 540 (we'll see). Wierd, but my mileage seems about 2mpg better on the highway since I replaced the Nitto Invo's I had.

So far, I'm having great success with all 4 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires...running 245/40/18's front and 265/30/18's rear! These 'ultra high performance' all-season tires carry a 45k mi. mileage warranty and ratings of AA traction, A temp, and a 500 tread wear rating! I've got ~ 3k miles on the rear and ~ 700mi. on the fronts.

no more AMG
I've had a lot of miles and track time on my Nitto 555's and I can't complain. They've held up well.

I'm following your tire usage as I'm very interested in this tire. Keep us posted as you get some miles on those rears!!

Will do; just checked my odometer, and I actually have 3,000mi. on the rears...they look brand new still.
