I just picked up the black a few months ago and i had a chance to take it on some long road trips over the summer. The time has come where i need tires. i took a look on tire rack and they have a choice of 3. What is everyone putting on their cars?

If you want a track ready tire...the Corsas. That said, they suck for day to day driving (poor traction in the cold and in the summer...least till they heat up…”sicky” tire after that) and last about 5K miles. I put the Hankooks on mine...good price, great for daily driving, spirited twisties and you'll get 2x + Corsa mileage before replacement

CLK63 AMG Black Series
I have tried Hankook tires in the past with other AMG vehicles and had great overall experience with them. It was the V700 series, if I recall correctly. Enjoy!

I've been happy with Bridgestones. I gave up on the Corsas after a few thousand miles, and just use them for track.(I have an extra set of factory rims)AS

Michelin ?
I am running Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the Warrior and very satisfied.
I think Michelin's with their thin flexible side wall offer a better ride which comes in handy with a car having stiff suspension like the Black.
When I was at HRE a few years ago I was able to compare several tires and found a big difference in their sidewall construction. Pirelli had very stiff sidewalls, you could hardly bend them with your hands. Michelin Pilot had a much more flexible sidewall. I adjust the ride by adjusting tire pressure.
I'm not a big fan of hi tire pressures which make for a hard ride anyway.
Super Sports have a good reputation and are priced very reasonable.

Your tire choices are very limited unless you get bigger wheels. If you do get the Bridgestone RE-11's. I didn't like the Super Sports at all because the side wall is so soft my car wobbied all the time with aggressive driving.

I just put on my second set of Bridgestone RE-11s. Running 275/30-19 front and 305/30-19 rear on larger rims.
