255 vs 265 tyres for c63 amg

[eyeofthetiger]

Having had yoko 255 tyres last 7000 miles twice I decided to try bridgestone conti5 255 tyres which has had much better grip in the wet but is going to need changing again after another 7000 miles. Has anyone tried 265 tyres and if so which one would you recommend? How many miles have they laster for you? I have 19 alloys btw

Thanks

An extra 10mm will make a difference, doubtful if you'd notice it through.

Bridgestone Conti5, you must mean Bridgestone Re050A or Continental SportCoontact 5. If they are Bridgestone it's doubtful your see more miles from any tyre.

Goodyear Eagle F1, if in your size will provide more wet grip but will wear out before a Bridgestone. .

265 Michelin Pilot Super Sport - the best you can buy. Mine have lasted over 11000 miles including 5 tack days.

Went up to 265 Michelin Pilot Super Sport o 19" and they transformed my car - no more dire lack of rear end Grip - also went up to 245 on the front and no more understeer in the wet - makes a HUGE difference!!!
