The first set on my 2010 lasted a little over 2k miles. I'm not as agressive with my 2011 as I got it out of my system, so I hope the OEM tires last a bit longer on this car.
I'm considering switching to PSS after I am done with my current set of tires. I am 99% sure I'll burn off the rears long before the fronts need replacement. Does anyone have experience running Michelin PSS rears (265's or 275's) with standard Continental fronts? Is it a bad idea to do so?

After watching the last video you posted, I'm surprised your tires lasted 3k miles!

)Same question here. I have 80% left on the front, 20% or less on the rear.

I would bet it would cause the car to be understeer prone. I never like mix and matching as it changes the balance of the car. Having said that, if it is just street use and no track/back canyon craziness then likely no big deal.

I think you can also get vibration caused by mismatched tire treads.

Getting my Super Sports put on the CLK55 right now! These tires are suppose to be awesome in the wet!
According to Tire Rack they tyested these at the "2012 One Lap of America".
On the wet skidpad challenge a 2009 GT-R got an average wet cornering force of 0.922g and on the dry skidpad challenge a 2012 GT-R generated an average cornering force of 1.082g both on Pilot Super Sport tires.
Can't wait to test these puppies out!

Haha. I don't do burnouts, it does too much noise for no reason, but whenever I make a turn and have some room, I make a drift, I can't resist. Of course I make sure that there is no cops first. I try to watch out and make sure there is no county cars officials, no unmarked police cars etc.. because the first week I got my car I was messing with a brand new dodge charger at night, I was going at 140 when I passed him and then I see him behind me with his lights on. I almost peed my pants lol. He was just messing with me, he didn't pull me over lol, I think it was a fed car.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
By the way, MB should just use the PSS as their oem tires whenever possible instead of the Conti. I don't see why sticking with Conti when better performance number can be had with the PSS. Moreover, the cost is actually less...unless Conti is giving their fellow countryman MB company big discount on the tires.

States 30k miles, cut in half for staggered setup (15k miles)
Just got mine on. Damn they are slick when exiting the tire shop brand new! lol.
So far the 275's look like they fit perfect on the stock rims! Don't know why some people were complaining about them bulging, i don't notice that at all.

What do you get if they wear out way before the 15K miles warranty?

These tires are night and day compared to the stock pirellis in terms of grip. Now launching in 1st on the street is much less dramatic with wheel spin and the car hooks up! Very happy with these tires now.
