Wrong tires

I recently had a flat tire on my 2014 C63 and discovered that MB recommends 235 X 35 X 19 for the front. My car came with 235 X 30 X 19. The size tire apparently can not be ordered from any manufacturer--as it is "un -safe" for the front end weight?????? does anyone have any experience in this matter--I was going to discuss with MB corporate??

The dealership was probably the ones who installed the wrong tires. Just go with what MB recommends for sizing.

I think the dealer may be correct, I don't recall the c63 ever coming with 235/30/19, its always been 235/35/19

Problem is the OP needs to buy 2 tyres now instead of 1. A bit of a pain if the good tyre has plenty of tread left.

That is the problem--it appears it came with the wrong size and tires that are not rated for the weight of the car.

If you know who fitted the incorrect tyre you can go back and have a polite chat and they may well change it for you for free as it was their mistake.

If you don't I guess you will just have to suck it up and pay out for 2 new tyres.
