New Tires, what do you have?
I've seen a lot complain about the Conti's but I haven't seen which model or if it's all of them.
Can anyone comment on the Continental SPORTCONTACT 6? Is this one of the ones people aren't happy with?
Looking at these or the Michelin Latitude Sport 3. Anyone running these either? Porsche spec tire, load rating is slightly lower than the stock Mercedes tires.
Upsizing on a 43 to 265/45/20 and 295/40/20
So limited for options in a summer tire!
TIA!

I would like to know feedback as well. I'm ordering a 2023 43 Coupe with the 21" wheels and I've seen where some have come equipped with Continentals and some with Dunlops. Is there a way to specify which brand you get? I think I would prefer the Dunlops.

2008 C63 AMG
My 2020 GLC63 CPO came with the Michelin Latitude Sport 3 summer tires with 6k miles on them.
It is getting cold here in PA/NJ and in the parking lot they were starting to crab walk on me, feels terrible.
Since I may also get caught in snow and need to get home I decided to go with all-seasons.
My tire sizes are 265/45/20 front and 295/40/20 rear.
I ordered Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season Plus tires.
No more crabbing and a much better ride.
They look better too.
If you will be driving in cold temps I recommend them.
They also have a 500 treadwear rating, so they should last a while.
The Latitudes at 6k miles were fairly worn.
My wife has a 2022 Mercedes GLE350 AMG line appearance package and it has the same Pirellis and rides great.
