I'm changing my rear tires after just 3000 miles (less than a month) next week I'm getting Michelin PSS too.. I hope there is a warranty with it, because I'm gonna need it lol

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

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?

Guilty

(lol )

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!

My Pirellis only lasted 5,000 miles! Getting 275/35/18 PSS's installed today on my stock wheels. Looks like they have a 15,000 mile warranty on them.

Guilty

So what happens if I finish the tires in like 4k miles ?

b16

I don't know. Tried searching google and can't seem to find anyone who has used up the tires in less than even 20,000 miles. People are getting 30k+ on these?

Point2Point

My Super Sports have about 5k miles on them, and the rears look like they don't have much life left.

b16

Use that warranty, let us know how it goes.

I dont think they warranty staggered set ups.

but I am interested also...ok mileage warranty but what if i do a burnout at every light LOL

Guilty

You gonna end up facing reckless driving charges

natman316

surprised you havent gotten one yet in your CL LOL. probably the only person who drives it like that haha

Guilty

I feel like you and I can be very good friends

I'm always watching for them and try to not be too crazy. 9500ix + Laser Interceptor and rulz

The only ticket I got was 2 weeks ago for an illegal U-turn on the highway. I didn't see the trooper He wanted to give me a ticket for illegal tint too lol

natman316

yaa. i havent gotten a ticket in the c63 yet but I've been pulled over so many times LOL. once I was with my gf and she wanted to see me drift since i keep talking about it (she usually doesnt approve LOL), so i did it but there was a cop behind me. He pulled me over, was like is this your car? why did you do that? just to show off? lol and then he didnt give me a ticket which was nice.

radar detectors wont help you when your doing burnouts man, hahahaha. i had a friend got a 110 dollar ticket for snow drifting his x5 in a parking lot LOL

Guilty

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.

Jasonoff

Pretty much everyone does this. They either admit to it or lie about not doing it...

Guilty

It's weird though. All the AMG that I saw here in Miami drive very very very slow !

otakki

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

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.

According to this they do:

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.

CaliSun

Which stock wheels are you on, 18's or 19's?

CaliSun

I sugested that on the MB Advisors site and they replied they will take that into concideration for AMG models.

b16

18's Bought the PSS's in 275/35/18

b16

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.
