C63S Stock Sedan - 295/30/19 on stock rims ??
I've seen a few OK they don't rub and a few they do rub but it's hard to separate the answers that also have camber kits, lowering, spacers and so forth from the rest. So here is the question.. stock sedan (2018) on which the stock rears will need to be enhanced (more rubber on road) and I'm looking for a definitive answer on what does, or does not rub. It would be Michelin 4S. Simple question looking for a simple answer from those who have tried it, successfully, almost successfully or not at all. FWIW, car will not be tracked, auto-crossed, lowered or receive other suspension mods. It will live most of it's life in comfort mode. ... at least as far as the suspension setting is concerned.
All replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping a newvbie's planning.

Ok, if your leaving the suspension standard height and no camber kit just fitting 295's on the rear factory 9.5" wheels you will be fine.
You may get a slight scrub from the little black guard flare when reversing down sleep drive ways and turning before the cars flat or when have a full car and drive over a divot on the highway.
Neather of these two examples will score your tyre.
Search my threads ads for more info if required.
Hope this helps.

In searching your threads I see you tried Toyo initially (11.5" tread width) and then PS4's at 11.1". I think you said the PS4's sat flatter on the sidewall which makes sense with a slightly narrower tread width. Any besides those?

It does and thanks for the reply. I've done a little more research into tire tread widths on Tire Rack and found they vary greatly, which surprised me. Bridgestone Pole Position S04 @ 10.2 inches was at the bottom with the Kuhmo Ecsta @ 10.8" next and at the widest end one of the a Pirelli P Zero's at 12.5" and the Corsa at 11.7" and the Toyo Proxes @ 11.5" bringing up the widest. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport @ 10.7" and PS4 at 11.1" were in the middle. Assuming the data is accurate and free from key punch errors, that's over 2 inches of variation per tire, so the question has to be added... What tires have you used in that size were satisfactory? and thanks in advance for your reply.

My original tyres were 265 Dunlop Super Sports, then swapped out for the same Dunlop 295/30's which I had no issues with, however, had a noticeable sidewalk budge.
When these wore wore out I upgraded to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's which I tell everyone about.
The side wall on these sit a lot flatter then the Dunlops and with the negative camber dialled out (tyres stand straighter bring top of the tyre out towards the guards) still no scrubbing issues.
Let me know now if you need any other info.
I think you will be happy with the change to Michelin PS4S's, the look
, stance 
and the added traction
