I've read a number of threads on the topic of new tires, but haven't found one where forum members clearly delineate their experience (like/dislike) with a particular tire (if I overlooked it, please redirect me). I currently have the original Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT's on my 2016 C63S with the stock sizes (245/35R19,265/35R19). They've served me well - in 3+ years I've gotten about 23K miles out of them, but definitely time to replace them. Looking for recommendations on best replacement tire based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!

PS4s

Michelin Pilot Super Sport is what I use on my car. I think the PS4s is the new tire that Michelin is using to replace the PSS.

RE71R or S007a

For street use the PS4S. I have three sets of them on three different cars (2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder, 2004 Audi S4 with Bilstein coil-overs, and a not yet complete Cobra Daytona Coupe replica). They rock - smooth, quiet, grippy in the dry, good in the wet and not too bad on longevity.

I agree PS4S
I have had PSS and PS4S the PS4S are better

jatt143

I installed 285/35/19 PS4S today in the rear and absolutely love them

if you are coming from the Dunlop SportMaxx, the PS4s will make you think you have have a whole new car. You will finally have traction when you need it and you will be shocked at how much quieter and more comfortable they are.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I ended up going with the PS4s and you all were spot on - they are fantastic tires! What a world of difference over my worn out Dunlop Sport Maxx's. Thanks again for steering me in this direction!

Djcrunchtime

what tire size did you do? I have the stock 19amg rims and i'm going to need a new set of tires soon

jeremyf0923

I went with same size as originals, but these PS4s seem to be a little bigger - not quite as low profile as the Dunlops which means they fill the wheel well a bit more. Or maybe it’s just an optical illusion, but swear I see a difference.

For the street id say get PS4 tires. If you have a tune or drive your car like i do mine your gonna need some serious grip. But if you dont care how long they last drag radials are the way to go. Im on nitto NT05 tires 295/18/30 and my lord what a huge diffrence. I can pull hard in every gear 1st-3rd with almost no wheelspin. Good luck

Get PS4S, 265/35R19 front and 295/35R19 Rear, then set cold tire pressure to 36 front and 32 rear, you will have tons of grip after the tire temperature goes up

Bpotter86

did you keep the same stock wheels that came on the C63s with these tires?

g2lujinn

I use aftermarket wheels because the stock wheels are too narrow for the wide tires

No rubbing issue with sedan body?

CrashTX

He's gotta be quoting coupe sizes; based on other threads, no way to squeeze 295s into the rear wells of a sedan. If memory serves, 275 is the most.

Agree with the large majority vote for PS4s. As soon as the stock Pilot Super Sports on my coupe wear out, I'm putting 265/305 PS4s on mine. (If I can get 275s in front, I'd like to just to keep the front/rear difference the same, but haven't seen a post that confirms it can be done)

Djcrunchtime

I have the sedan. Would 295 fit?

untamedd

275s in the front can be done. User Sanch on this forum is running that setup. 275 in the front and 305 in the back. That is what ill be switching too once my stock tires run out.

answer223

I think 295 will be a problem on Sedan...

Zeek1

Yes 295 fit

I have them on my car with no rubbing at all.

RDO247

Can confirm 265/35/19’s fitted to 9.5” wheels up front and 295/30/19’s on 10.5” wheels on the rear - Sedan.

I also ran these same tyres sizes on the factory cross spoke wheels.

answer223

Thanks！ Helped a lot for future reference!

I found running slightly higher Tyre pressure is needed when running wider tyres on original wheels in the back

I’m running 44psi.

RDOCA

I think 44 on the rear is way too high.
On a sedan with stock tires it should be 33 PSI cold. 44 would ride very rough. From my research when I put 275 35 19 on mine the pressure should stay the same or maybe go up 1 PSI.
38 on the front cold with stock wheels and tires. I see some on the drag strip going down about 2 PSI but on the track the pressure will go up from stock probably 8 or more PSI just with the heat in them.
