Yokahoma signs with AMG to supply tires for future 63s
Guess it's Yokahoma ADVAN Sport tires from now on.
Yokohama Advan Sport tires have been approved by Mercedes AMG GmbH as original equipment tires for the CL 63 AMG, CL 65 AMG and ML 63 AMG models. These two tire lines are the latest additions to Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd.'s Advan Sport flagship series.
* The Advan Sport V103 will be available in sizes 255/35ZR20 XL for the front and 275/35ZR20 XL for the rear for the CL 63 AMG and CL 65 AMG.
* The ADVAN Sport V103A will be supplied in size 295/40ZR20 106Y for the front and rear of the ML 63 AMG.
"AMG" is a high-end badge line of Mercedes-Benz known for its sporty, dynamic performance. The CL 63 AMG and the CL 65 AMG are based on the Mercedes CL-class luxury coupe, while the ML 63 AMG is based on the M-class premium SUV. All models are available globally.

I used to use them on my last car and they had good performance but around 6-7k mi they got noisy like chappy said. but thats was like 4 yrs ago.

Advan Sport
I have a set on my S55 and so far so good. Much quieter than the M PS mind you they were half worn so won't know until the Yokos are half worn. As far as handling we drove the coast road Oregon, Northern CA and no problem on the many hairpins. Straight away traction seems good to no light on dash when I floor it (on occassion 
) like I used to get with the M PS. Last but not least they don't cost as much, but with all this publicity I am sure thats going to change.

ive got a set of these on my car and they wear out like hell, noisy and rather uncomfortable compared to the conti CSC2 which i preferred much more.
