Which Michelins?
Hi All,
Time to replace the PZeros on my 2016 E63. Struggling with the choice between the Pilot Super Sports and the Pilot All Season 3 Plus's. I have dedicated winter tires but kind of like the idea of an A/S tire for several reasons, namely ride comfort and more durability. My question is will I lose a bunch of performance with going the A/S route vs the PSS? I'm ok with losing a little for the trade-offs I've mentioned but don't want to feel a lack of confidence in cornering. Any opinions?

You can run the PS4S in one width wider, forget the exact numbers. Search for Vrodman - he has a whole thread on it.
And yes - going to all season you will definitely feel it. In general - the stiffer the car and the more power the car has - the bigger the perceived difference.

MY17 S63AMG - MBUSA Buyback. MY16 SL63 - Sold MY19 W213 E63s. 2020 W213 E63s Wagon
First to consider, does your E63(s) have the wheel and tire protection ( warranty ) package.
If you have the wheel and tire package, you will need to purchase through Mercedes the MO ( none run flat ) or MOE ( run flat ) tires Michelin makes for Mercedes only cars and unless you have either, the wheel and tire protection wouldn’t cover the warranty claim unless you do.
PM me with your VIN and I’ll check Monday to see if Michelin has the MO PS4s tires in stock size for your E63.
MBusa is running a special right now, if you buy 2 tires, you get $75 off and 4 tires you get $150.

2013 E63 Estate
I recently switched to PS4S 265/35/19 front and 305/30/19 rear and could not be happier. Summer tires are better in the rain than All-Season tires. All-Season tires are only useful if you see snow or very cold temps.

305s on stock rims? Also any rub? Would be nice to get away with 305s instead of 295s if no clearance issues.

Here is the thread he is referring to:
https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...lled-rear.html
There is a lot of debate from one particular individual in the thread about the slightly oversized rear tire. I have had the P4s's now for 6 months and I love them. Nope, not tracking the car. But I drive it as spirited as anyone! No problems or issues whatsoever.

The best thing you can do for better grip handling feel for our cars is stiffen the chassis. Front upper strut bar rear strut bar inside of trunk and undercarriage bars. Our chassis are very soft, that’s why every time some of you go up a slight driveway you hear your pano roof pop or creek. Bars will dramatically improve the handling and make the car more nimble
