Yesterday I shredded my front tire after some spirited driving on a track :D
The track was a bit too small for a C63 so I had some heavy cornering which destroyed the front right tire.

The tires delivered with the car were Yokohama's Advan Sport but as I needed urgently some new ones I could only lay may hands on a set of Continental SportContact 3 235/35/19 91Y XL.

Now, I don't feel 100% sure about these ones as they seem to be average in any rankings or reviews I can find on them. Also the 91Y load index seems pretty low, on the Yokohama's the load index was 103S. :confused:

What would be the best tire I could get for my C63 PP+ ? I don't care about comfort, I just need good track performance as I'll be driving a couple of weekends on the Nurburgring and Spa-Francorchamps over the next 2-3 months.

Also, what is the max size I can put on the 19" wheels? Default it is front: 235/35/19 XL 103S and back: 255/30/19 XL 103S.
Some good tires can not always be found in 255/30/19, the latest Michelin Super Sport is only available in 265/30/19, would that fit?

Many many thanks in advance for you advice :y
