Looking for some meatier tires, need suggestions!

Thanks a lot for the reply. I know that the competition tires are more sticky and have more contact surface but I'm here in Houston tx and is raining 50% of the time. So summer tires are my only option. I'll just go with 1 size bigger to be on the safe side. Like you said it might look funny or create uneven wear when is not meant for it.

Find out your wheel width. Don't get a wider tire unless it falls within the safe tolerance. For example we can go from a 265 to 275 on the back with E55 wheels but generally it is better to stay with 245 on the front as it is already near the maximum for the wheel width. I vowed only to get AWD if I got another AMG, oh well. What tire brand/model are you running?
I am trying the new Bridgestone potenza S007a next Monday. I will report back.

Supersports are a good tire. PS4S is also a great choice but won't be a huge upgrade I wouldn't have thought. Search the C63 forum, someone would have posted it or measure it.

How about some Federal 595 RS RR Performance Radial? Anybody can give us a review on them?

It's not very often that I see those two brands cross shopped with each other. HRE is like Rolex while Strasse...well they aren't like Rolex haha. What color combination were you thinking about doing with the 540R's?

I had Federal 595s for a few years (not the RS, but they are very similar). They wear well and are cheap. They do not grip well in any weather, wet traction is poor, cornering is not bad since it is a stiff tire, but unfortunately they are loud as well. Overall not a great tire. Definitely not for people who like performance.
