tires with tune?

Hi, guys, I am just curious what tires you guys are running (mainly rears) on 63s with tunes? I noticed after my tune my car will spin like crazy whether at a dig or cruising. I'm not like tracking my car so don't want slicks or anything just curious what you guys run that seem decent traction with a tune on the car?

My friend drives a c63s on stage 2, he runs 295 toyo r888r on the rears with 265 ps4s on the front. On digs he pretty much hooks and goes as if he is awd.

Technically the r888r is not recommended in the rain. I’m in south florida right by the ocean so it rains heavy and randomly. thinking about getting the r888r but I not sure how it’ll drive in heavy rain and standing water, which is plentiful in south fl

rear 305 ps4s are awesome. They can still spin of course but fresh ones grip really well. What tune are you using btw? I have the amr handheld stage 1 for now just trying it out to compare to stage 2

I run PS4S on my tuned GLC63 and they don't even think about gripping from a standstill with all-wheel drive, unless I have them down to 23 psi. They are the best tires I have found though, I just can't imagine anything gripping from a dig on a tuned C63

yeah no chance I can WOT without slipping but it’s doable to manage the throttle and have a good launch

Yea man, I had two sets on my rears with my last m3; no way I'll go that route again here in south FL on my 63. You have to drive super slow and it still skates. Very fun when its dry out though.

yea, from a dig or at any speed, if I punch it it's immediate spin and does hook eventually but the power is so high that I feel like my old 08 63 with a tune hooked wayyy better
