Replacement Tires OEM size
Hey y'all,
I'm looking for advice on OEM size tires. I've been on the Backorder list for Coni extreme contacts A/S for a month now . Just learned that they have been pushed out another month or two.
Any thoughts on an alternative ALL SEASON 255/35/19 (fronts)??
Michelin?? Yokohama??
I've been bias to the Continental's since I've run them on a C450 and my current E63s but open to other options.
Thanks in Advance

2014 E63S
I bought a full set of Nokian WR G4 in that size for winter, but don't have them mounted yet. I'm curious how they'll do on the E63. I switched to them from the Continental DWS06 on my other car a couple years ago, and really like them. Positives compared to the Contis are actual winter rating and all around better grip. The only negative I've experienced is more sidewall flex, but the other car runs a 245/55/18. I can't say for sure on the wear because I was putting significantly more highway miles on the car before making the switch.

I needed a set last month but Michelin Pilot Sport AS were on 3mo back order. I ended up going with Bridgestone Potenza RE980 AS+. No complaints so far, its my daily and have had them out for a 500mi road trip. For really inclement weather though will drive my truck so wont put the AS to any true test.

Supply Chain Issues
Thanks for all the input .
Yes , the Pilot A/S Rears are Backordered too.
I don't drive the E a ton in the winter , so I'll probably wait a bit and see if anything else comes available.

The Michelin PS AS4 is what I will be putting on my E63, my wife's X3 and my 911 (have winter and track tires as well for it).
I have the PS AS4 on my RX-7 and they are a great tire. Dry grip is better than many tires (and definitely better than tires from years ago), great in the rain, great when temps are cold, and acceptable for minor winter conditions. All of our cars have winter tires, but the AS4 will manage the shoulder season better. Nothing worse than having the summer tires on and there is an early or late snow fall (fall or spring).
The grip, feedback, handling, noise of the PS AS4 is excellent. For the odd times you are caught in snow/winter/cold temps they will do MUCH better than a summer tire (have the P Zero on the E63 and X3 right now, and had them on the 911). I am/was very happy with the P Zero in the dry and on the track, and the wear was excellent. Grip was very good, when the tires were up to temp and the pressures were managed.
Try the Michelin PS AS4 and you will be very happy. There are other great all season options, but I think the PS AS4 dry grip is near the top. No all-season will replace a winter tire, but should be able to get you through light winter conditions.
