When launching the car try easing into the throttle instead of stabbing it full on.

C63 AMG coupe
Was going to put on set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport today but the guy at the tires shop told me that Bridgestone Potenza S001 is even better but it is slightly more expensive...So what should I get

There are grippier tires than PSS. Tires that ride more quietly and comfortably. Tires that are better in the rain. However, very few, if any, max performance tire does all of it as well in my experience.

I have about 1k miles on new Michelin SS and I love them so far. Maybe the stock Continentals were getting too worn but when sliding around a corner with the back end out wide when they grabbed it was a somewhat violent correction. The Michelins grab smoother and more predictable.

I've put 3 sets of P Zero All Season on my '05 Acura TL - they are fabulous for that car. That alone changed the handling characteristics dramatically over the stock Bridgestone's. If you want all season's for the winter months then they are a great choice. When it was time to do my first replacements for the C63 I chose a stickier summer tire for the more powerful car. I have driven the P Zero's in snow/ice and had no problems.
