What 18 inch wheels should I go for (grip)?
Hey guys,

Before purchasing a used C63, I would like to know what tyres to buy since the old ones need to be replaced. I am looking for tyres with the most grip since roads here are super slick. Price is not relevant unless the cheaper alternative is much cheaper than the original suggestion.

I have Michelin PSS on my s350 and love them but I am not sure they will fit the C63's 18 inch wheels.

Here are the wheel specs for front and back respectively: 225/40/18
255/35/18

Please let me know which ones are best suited for my needs.

Thanks!

Ah so the 225 for the front is wrong i suppose? That's the size the dealer gave me for an approximate cost of replacing the old tires. I guess they are 235 then since the 18 inch rims are stock.
