Afternoon all,
Yes this is another thread about winter tyres so apologies about that...
Please for the sake of my sanity could anyone who already owns a set of winter tyres for their W205 C63S (staggered sizes for the OEM 19” wheels) tell me what you have and where you got them from?
I ask because I’m getting mixed messages from the places I’ve been checking. The Pirelli Performance Centre in Burton say they can’t supply the right combination of tyres/load rating to fit, checking Pirelli directly shows they produce the 245/35/19’s in Winter SottoZero form but not the 265/35/19’s (although I swear blind I saw them on their website a few weeks ago).
I find this really bizarre given a video I watched about the place has them swapping a full set of Winter tyres supplied by them off of a McLaren - surely more exotic than a C63?
Michelin’s site states they make both sizes in Pilot Alpin 4’s (result!) but with differing load ratings between front and rear – is this a massive problem given I won’t be going hell for leather on them??
Searches on blackcircles.com and the like seem to produce different result every time I check, which is getting really annoying.
I’ll listen to anyone at this stage so any and all advice is massively appreciated!
Thanks,
Simon
