W204 C63 - Anyone get Wheel spin with Michelin PS 4S on take off?
Hi all. I have a w204 c63 with the Performance-Package-Plus running claimed 480 hp. I currently have Hancook Ventus S1 evo2 on all wheels and those are absolute garbage in this situation here:
*At red traffic light in sport plus mode (not even holding high revs; foot off accelerator)
*Light goes green and I progressively give the car a bit of gas for a split second (to avoid instant loss of traction)
*Then go pedal TT medal.
*The rear wheels still lose traction in first, second, and then catch up in in third it seems.
*Clearly the Hancooks wouldn't handle race start at all.
*Extra: last night smoked a possibly tuned R36 4Motion even with my wheels spinning (no speed limits were broken)
Needless to say when the wheels run out of tread I will be getting the Michelin PS 4S.
I am however interested in hearing if anyone with the Michelin PS 4S gets traction loss in the above situation? Additional info on aggressive take off would be great?

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
the Ps4's were a huge improvement on my car from a set of V12's I ran.... but traction's still an issue, even hard 2nd -3rd I get blinking...-so, installing a LSD this week to help, and may go wider tires pending clearance on the inside....EC is looking at that while it's on the lift. if there's not room I'll likely go to a stickier rear tire like the Toyo or Michelin's dedicated tire.

I have a P31 C63 and also a RennTech boost to 517hp. I'm using Ps4 tires, 265/30-19s on 10" wheels and no slip in warm weather....they are great all around!
Good Luck!

2012 C63 AMG P31, Stage 3 Weistec
I had the 4S on my P31 when it was stock and felt they did a good job - could obviously spin them, but I could get out of the hole well IMO.
I run a 275 4S on the back now with my Stage 3 blower and am still impressed. I have the LSD, so it helps out a lot.
The best combo for WOT off the line for me is in sport handling mode and either S+ or M mode. Doesn't cut as much throttle and allows more wheel spin. With the TC completely off its just white clouds.
