The price sounds about right.. But make sure the rims clear our bbk.
As for the tires, I would go for a more reputable company as Michelin Latitude or Bridgestone Blizzak for safety reasons. But I can't comment on ur choice as I never heard of them. Good luck!

you can run 235/40's on all 4 OEM wheels, did that last winter. the rears look a little odd but work fine really isn't much of a stretch in fact is in the range for the rear rim width. with that being said I'm switching mine to 255's this year.

I might have a deal for you... I'm trying to transfer my lease on leasebusters and I have a set of 235/45/18 ContiWinterContact on 18" AMG wheels. If the taker does not want winter tires they could be yours... Paid 4000$ for the kit. Could let them go for 3000$. They are almost new. I got the car in february 7th and got the summer rims installed end of march at 1800km... The car was not even broken in! I'll let you know if they are available.

Thanks for the feedback - $3000K is out of my price range - I might as well buy it from MB Toronto - they are going for 3500 approx -

I am going for all four winter rubber - 235 40 R18
Currently I have pirelli tires and its utter rubbish! Once season and the rears are gone - the grip was not up to par - I drive my C63 in two winter storms - deep snow, challenging but made it!
Anyhow, this year - I have to get one set of new tires and I gong to try out the SEMTERIT SPEED Grips - they got very good rating in Europe!
I think we sometimes overly brand local
Feedback if any

I've told before that the canadian cars don't have them as well, one of the reasons being people needing to swap out winter tires for it, and this "wheel speed sensor" will make swapping wheels much easier.

/edit - Although it's Canadian Tire - http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/Resea...TPMSBuying.jsp
"A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an electronic system for monitoring your vehicle's tire pressure. Most cars manufactured after 2007 already have TPMS installed. Before changing your tires, check with your service advisor if your car has TPMS installed."
Also - I bought my Infiniti Winter set from Tire rack, and did not include the TPMS option. Whenever I had my winters on, the dash showed that it thought the tire pressure was low. However, given the controversy in this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ms-canada.html, I'm not certain what to believe with regards to Benz's.

i know the nissan/infiniti cars have them (i owned one previously), but all signs point to the C63 in not having them. There's no option to check the actual pressure of the tires in the menus, and in the owners manual there's a section for TPMS for US cars only, and a different system for Canadian owners.
edit:
straight from the manual:
Tire pressure loss warning system
(Canada only)
While the vehicle is being driven, the tire
pressure loss warning system monitors the
set tire inflation pressures by evaluating each
wheel’s rotational speed. This allows the
system to detect a significant loss of pressure
in a tire. If a wheel’s rotational speed changes
due to falling tire inflation pressure, you will
see a corresponding warning message in the
multifunction display.

Although, maybe it's in the 2011's in Canada?
ps, my Infiniti was an 04'. I'd be surprised if Infiniti was that much ahead of the curve on Mercedes on this - especially on an AMG?
