How long did your rear tires last?
I just hit about 8,500 miles and while adjusting my tire pressure for the winter months noticed my rears are nearly on the wear bars on the inside of the tires. Obviously, these cars are setup for quite a bit of Neg Camber and I do drive mostly in sport+ mode with a heavy foot, but 8,500 miles 
Was hoping for 10-12K. Probably going to go through 2-3 sets of rears for every set of fronts.

22K. I also have a C63S Edition 1 Coupe and also was bald on the inners. In fact, rears were pretty worn, but I could see cords on the front inners.
Having said that, it's not just only miles, but the # of heat cycles that determines tire wear. I don't go through much heat cycles; my drive is basically all highway, 60 - 100 miles round trip, daily driver.

I fitted K-Mac camber kits to the front and rear a year ago and have even wear across all tyres.
I think my PS4S’s will last another 12 months before needing to be replaced.

C63s coupe
Just had my 2018 C63s coupe in for service at 10,500 miles. The rears had 6.5/10ths still there (replacement recommended at <3.5).
Unfortunately, the fronts had to be replaced because of an alignment problem and being worn on the inside edges down to the cord. I have not abused the car or hit even moderate pot holes so there is no explanation why I had the alignment problem

2019 C63s Coupe
New to the MB world (car here in late Feb), but regarding alignment issues, can anyone work on the alignments or is this a dealer only type thing? Curious as my BMW's had to be done at dealer, which i thought was a joke until I went to a number of shops and they told me the same thing, Guess it had to due with the equipment being used? Average wear seems pretty low, but figure in the horsepower, weight etc. and the tires on the car (soft compound) I guess it could be low. I've been getting about 22-24K with my BMW (Bridgestones), but car is lighter and less HP 
But i have a heavy foot, so i guess I'll start a tire fund now!
