One has the option of selecting high performance tires for an additional $400. My sales person stated she beieves it's Pirelli. I hate Pirelli's. Anyone seeing Michelins or something better?
Not sure what you mean by the High-Performance Tire option. In the US, 2019 C63/C63S only comes with Performance tire (R01) option. This is a non-run-flat Michelin Pilot Super Sport from what I've seen. Is the High-Performance Tire a new 2020 option?
This is the info from MY2019 Sedan and Coupe order guides:
I have seen a R01 and a R03 option for MY2020 cars. R01 is referred as a Summer High Performance tire and R03 is referred to as a Cup Tire. The R03 option is only available on the C63s and only with the 766, 767 and RXC wheels.
In the previous years the tires have been Michelin Pilot Super Sports as Tuxdude stated above.
For the C63S with the staggered 19/20 wheels the standard tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport. You can opt for optional streetable track tires, which is what you are asking, and those are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, at least in case of the coupe. A good way to see what the OEM tires are, go to Tirerack.com, pick the vehicle and tire sizes and then select the original equipment tires.

When I selected this option for my 18 C63s Coupe (ordered in Nov. of 2017) it was the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s. Super grippy but the ride was rough and tires were loud as you might expect. Only lasted about 5,000 miles haha. Glad I did it to try them though.
I got PS4Ss after and won’t look back. Next I’m doing wider PS4Ss.
Really? When did this start? I've never seen any C63 with PS4s from the factory. Are they using PS4s on MY2020 (I hope, I hope....)? I've had both on my M4, and I thought the PSS was the best tire in the world until I switched to PS4s. Honestly I don't know how street tires can possibly get much better than PS4s are.
