Thanks buddy!

Thoughts on them? Improvement over the standard 255s? And any issues with rubbing, etc?

I was driving behind an S550 sport pkg today and the tires looked huge in the back, I think they are 275s. I think that would look great on the C63.

Ya, the 275's on the S550's look pretty wide.
The Falken RT-615's were great tires, but didn't last long. No rubbing issues at all with the 275's.

Thanks. If I'm not mistaken, the Falken RT-615's are the only 275s that fit on the OEM rims, right? Is this why more people don't run 275s on stock rims?

You can fit almost fit all 275's on the OEM 18's.
I have put 275 Hankooks on OEM wheels as well.
There are alot of other 275/35/18 tire brands that various members have put on their 18's without rubbing issues.
