I recently learned that there is a Michelin Man on the shoulder of the sidewall... if you are under inflated on tire pressure he will start to wear away. You can see it above the 255 at 3:00

All 4 of my wife & I's benz's have Michelin Pilot Sport 4's :) They're really good - not cheap, but last long and are safe. Unfortunately my E55 can barely spin up the rears now they're that grippy lol

I'll never forget being broke in college & needing new tires for my then '99 Infiniti i30. It had fresh Hankook's when I 1st got it, but LA freeways took care of them & I reluctantly had some cheap no name garbage put on just before an LA to San Diego trip. The car instantly aged 10 yrs as I pulled out of the tire shop & I felt like I no longer recognized a car I'd owned for about 5 or so yrs at that point.

Excellent choice for the CLK63. I've used these on virtually all performance cars I've owned; E36 M3, 911 Carrera S, Ferrari F430, S65 AMG or CLK Black Series, they all got Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

I put ps4s's on my E55 estate, definitely improved grip but they wore out pretty fast, easier to push the car harder through corners and use the grunt off the line so they didn't last long. Not much you can do about getting both more grip and long life out of the same size footprint, I've gone back to less grip and only changing the tyres once a year instead of twice.

I feel like the weight distribution on both gen clk cabriolets with the top in the trunk is fantastic. Cars are a bit heavy but with that weight over the rear wheels they lock in on hard acceleration, considering you have good rubber of course.

Impressive how you can launch the CLK 63 with the Michelins. I have Falken Azensis 510 in 245/35R19 Front and 275/30R19 in the rear on my E55 and it detects traction loss till around 110 Kph in second gear when i floor it. Am planning to go PS4S next year, only the price here being around 900€ is a bit hefty.

@videomaniac108

I put the PS4S on my Nissan 370Z 6MT sport pkg and really like them. The grip and tread life are phenomenal, including the wet road performance. The high upfront cost is negated by the fact that they are so long wearing, for the amount of grip you get. The only thing that I don't like on my car is that the sidewalls are too flexible, resulting in steering that is less precise and not as responsive as the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas that were on my car before. When these tires wear out I'll probably go with the Michelin Cup 2s for the greater grip and stiffer sidewalls.

I have 4s as well but man oh man with a 76mm pulley on my e55 I get zero traction even in the dry. (I do drive exclusively in dyno mode as I have an 05 and even with ESP off my TCU does not enjoy wheel spin) Very comfortable tires especially coming from dailying an x3 m40 with fun flats.

Hey AMG Meister...what are your thoughts on going a bit wider (a size or two)? I have an '03 S55 AMG and I'm thinking of going with 20s, particularly for looks but if I stick with the 18" factory wheel diameter of like to go wider and subsequently slightly taller as well. I prefer the look of more "meat" on the wheels and filling out the wheel wells more. I ultimately like more meat and wheel spacers to bump out to flush with the body. I feel the ABC and engine/trans can more than cope with a size or two wider and subsequently a tad taller! May I have your thoughts? Thanks

Amazing tires, lots of grip, and they only lose it when they’re really worn out. Why did you chose 235 front instead of the original 225?

I chose 235 because I thought it would be more balanced front to back. Also, 235 on an 8 inch wheel is what is on the w204 C63 so it makes sense.

Michelin says 30,000 miles. Realistically, on a RWD car like this, the front tires will probably last closer to 40,000 miles and the rears will last around 20,000 miles.

Michelin pilot 4s. Also, check the forums to see if you can fit slightly oversized on it. Wider treads = more grip. I was able to put 305's on my CLS63 where stock is 285. I replaced cheap tires that I could drift all day in, to the Michelins where I had to put real effort into kicking it around corners. second, get the rear end aligned.
