Hi all I have never owned or driven a Mercedes before so proud to say purchased a C63s amg 2017 moved over from Audi RS6 C7 2015 model
My only issue is I can't get the traction I need the car spins whenever it feels like to,
What can I do to get better traction please
Thanks

Welcome. Coming from an Audi I know the pain of having limited traction. Do you have a coupe or a sedan? Best thing you can do it get wider tires. Think coupe you can run 305 and sedan 285-295.
The dunlops that came on my car were horrible. Changing to R888 rears soled that.

If you're used to AWD a big part is getting used to having more throttle control. No more mash and go.
I second the wider tires. I have 285s and it helps a lot. Also different types of tires for the climate you're in will help. I'm in western Washington and the summer tires didn't work.
Other than that, it's just getting used to having RWD. If you can't get it down or don't like, it's not for you.
