Black C63 507 Coupe
It's white leather with the black alacantra inserts! I can take some pictures when i head home - currently travelling.

Car is doing great! put 5k on it over the winter - no issues so far! I swapped out to 245/275 PSSs and the car feels FAR better than on the OEMs.

On that note i have some brand new OEMs if anyone wants them!

Welcome to the C63 family. Great car. Perhaps will see you on the road one day.


P.S. As for engine vibration at idle, put some Petro Canada 94 octane in it or alternatively use Shell 91 w/ no ethanol. It will clear it right up.

Thanks Diabolis. I heard changing to an AfE air filter might help... I actually generally use 94 from petro - and still feel a bit of shudder once in a while.

I'm definitely in love with the car - but thinking about an x-pipe and res delete. There's on FS in NY for $600.

How do the 245/275 fit on the stock wheels.....I been thinking about doing it but I wasn't sure if they fit ok (the 275s anyway, does it bulge?), worried about them wearing properly? Thanks

I have the 19s, so it might be a bit of a difference, but the 275s look normal. a little more full than the 255s but honestly not by much.

I think that the oem 255s are wider than we think.

Thanks...all 507s come with 19s....is there a huge difference between the PSS and the stock Conti's?

I think it's a pretty big difference. I barely break loose in a straight line now, and feel way more comfortable in the corners.

Getting my PSS put on at the end of april too, hopefully they're as good as everyone says, because my oem pirellis were absolute **** haha, literally felt my tail throw out at every left turn.Took them to the track once too, was going sideways everywhere

I got quoted between 1300 - 1500 for a set of PSS, more then I like to pay but hopefully they'll last me a while

For fronts and rears that's a great price. I'll gladly take a set too.

As for how long they last... well, you are driving a C63. While they are a great tire, I wouldn't expect them to last more than 10-15K km, and certainly MUCH less if you track the car.

Thats music to my hears, my pirellis lasted roughly 7k, although tracking them was a pretty big factor

Won't be tracking the PSS though, probably smarter to just get a separate set that I can burn through while having fun on the track.

I opted for 265s PSS. Getting them installed in a few hours.

507AX, I think I saw in one of the posts that you are from Milton. Haven't seen you around town. I have seen a white coupe (507)in town though, a white pre-facelift sedan and a grey pre-facelift sedan as well. Seen the grey one on multiple occasions.

I actually live a little outside Milton, but work in the US very regularly so that might be why. I just moved into a new place with a very muddy driveway so i don't have any pictures yet! but as soon as we get it paved - ie) as soon as i can clean the car and it not get dirty immediately, i can send some pics. send me a pm for a request! they honestly look very similar to the oems.

Thats a lot of money for a simple x pipe and res delete!

Come to the Mississauga I will take you to the Muffler shop that did mine. Its much cheaper and there welds are amazing!

Im in Caledon, Will be moving North to Orangeville next year. Im dreading the muddy roads

I'm going to have to agree with you on that! On corners or on off ramps heading onto highways, I did not feel confident one bit on corners. It did not feel too planted which was scary! One of the reasons why I switched out of conti's in the first place on the summers. Holding onto the winters abit longer until those PSS arrives!

My Conti 5Ps are already half done at 3000kms, that is after a diligent break-in period...even the fronts. Looking forward to getting the PSS. I am going to go with 235/265 setup.

You wanna talk diligent? Im still on my original stock brakes, and according to MB i still have just under 50%. They were amazed at how long they have lasted lol.

As for tires, I think simply tire sells PSS for $1150-1200? I think thats what they quoted, but i got Hankooks V12 for $950 cash at Joy City tires. You might wanna ask them. They have 2 locations, Scarborough and I believe Markham.

PSS for all 4 tires 1150-1200? that's amazing price! I'm getting quotes from 1400-1500 taxed in.
