I never heard that "Continentals are mercedes preferred tyres", not sure where you heard that.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the best Summer street tire in the world.

I run Bridgestones RE71r's 295/30/20 in the rear and 265/35/19 in the front on my coupe and it grips when you get heat in them.

Make sure you get the 4S. Some dealers mix it up with the Super Sport which is 6-7 years old and the old technology Michelin tire.

That actually happened to me and when I went to pickup the car, I was like "WTF is this?" I was not happy, especially since I had a paper trail with 4S in bold to explicitly avoid that mistake. LOL

Hi guys, i realize this thread is a few years old.

I am thinking of getting a W204 C63 AMG - would you recommend the same PS 4S tyres? What's it like in terms of comfort and speed of wear?

Any experience with Toyo tyres? I saw somewhere R1R (or something like that) are good.

Thanks

You’re going to find that tires can become a personal choice based on a driver’s preferences.

Having now owned three AMG cars, four M3’s and other means of transportation, each car required specific brands/models to get the best response from each ofthem. We just switched from Michelin SS’s to Conti Extreme Sports. Big difference in handling.

Mine currently has Contis and the grip on the rear is terrible/scary. Thought I would try something new and Pirelli P zeros were recommended

NT01's are great in the wet, just went my 2nd wet season in North Australia with them.
The R888R's are about less 25% grip in the wet and do brake away faster with not much warning like the NT01's
I run a 285/35/19 rears, both tyres are a very fat fit.
Both warm up superfast, like 70% quicker and hold their heat well, alot better than Cup 2's.

I have Continental Extreme Contract DSW06+ on my stock rims. Which are the best all season tires made; hands down.

I special ordered rims for summer tires. I'm thinking Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3. I'm looking for tires with stiff sidewall that will ride good with the weight. Michelin track tires are great for Porsche and Corvette but too squishy for heavier cars. Bridgestone discontinued their "holy grail" 200 tread wear tire. Falkin Azenis RT660 is only W rated and the sidewalls bulge. I eliminated all non-XL rated tires. Michelin PS4S might be the safest for daily driving. But does the new Continental Sport DW out perform the Michelin PS4S now; on the DL. Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R and Nankang AR-1 might be slightly more extreme than I require for daily use. So far Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 is my top choice.

Front: 9.5x19 30ET, 265/35R19
Rear: 11x19 55ET, 305/30R19
