PSS are not loud at all. I've only noticed a little noise coming from the tires in cold mornings while it warms up (under 10C).

I'm running your exact tire specs.

MIG, u have great taste in mods.. Expensive taste I must add. Lol

Loving ur car & style!! I can't wait to see the wheels mounted. Have u received them yet or u r waiting for them? Good choice on going 265/30/19.. U will rub on 275/30/19 especially if u go PSS, they run a bit wider than Contis.

I have yokohama advan ad08 which are know to be noisy tires. I can notice a little more road noise vs my stock 5p, it's bearable. Based on car and driver the PSS is even less noisy vs ad08. So you should not have any major noticeable road noise with PSS. The rear wheel wells in c63 are insulated. Noise should not be a big problem with PSS. Especially with your acro exhaust.

Can you elaborate more on the strut tower braces? As far as feel and handling.
Tks

1.Car is much better controlled.
2. Auto more elastic.
3.Less vibration on the body car.

Renntech has really nice quality products, we sell a lot of parts for German vehicles and have never had a complaint about Renntech's products from a customer.-Trinidad

Im for Michelin PSS as well.
I tried to use something cheaper due to the tires being burned too fast and went for vreidstein. They are harder, last longer. However, cannot compare them to PSS, they just give you so much grip.

PS: V moskve navernoe klassno na C63 katatsya?

Far fewer vibrations from the road to coming on the steering wheel & car body.
Can't agree with you more. In large part your interesting post helped me make the decision to get the front Renntech strut brace and it has noticably improved the handling. The car feels far more planted and the body roll has been reduced. The front tyres feel like they are in better contact with the road more of the time, particularly when cornering.

How do you like Akrapovik exhaust? I heard the c63's roar disappears with this.

I have installed full Akrapovic Evolution.
The sound is very nice and it's a sound uniquely AMG,but for me a little loud.

Are you doing it in Russia? If yes, your best bet is dealer or performance shop to install it.
