Hi all so looks like AMG gods listened to my sorrow over this and while I was in the driveway getting stats from tires this evening for all you nerds and geeks here my neighbors son who is always friendly came in to visit family in his always roaring majestically pocket rocket with 4 x 2O inch wheels and he saw me messing with my tires and only than I found out he is a mobile tire fitter himself and he works for blackcircles! As he offered to help I explained all to him and he said as you have 255 on the rear so why dont you put the same sizer 255 in front but drop the aspect ratio in front from current 40 to 35 matching the rears which is 35. So basically 255/35/19 all across.
He suggested Michelin Pilot Sport 4s and I too had them in mind in my couple of choices in brand and model so I was well pleased to hear that. He said 255 will look rather good in the front matching the rear as I wanted bigger heavier looking tires and they good for all weather conditon. Ofcourse there is no change in this setup but I did the calculator to workout the diameter which is 661.1mm.
He also quickly called his mate to check who too got different spec width supplied from MO when he got his C63. His fronts were smaller width and rear bigger so his was a mismatch too direct from Merc. His mate swapped them later in this manner keeping all 4 same and its working great. He get 30-40 percent discount on black circles staff discount so he said he can get them really cheap on staff discount for me and he will bring them here and fit them. Happy days!
So what does the comrades here think of this fitment ? Please share your thoughts. Plus I found them on MO1 fitment so Merc cant say they unofficial when I take them for servicing next time as they did say when I emailed them that they got to be MO approved if I was to get them done outside so that keeps them happy.. There is literally no change on rear and mine pulls power from rear anyway so going forward its just change of brand/model. The idea of putting 255 on front will make them look great he said as I wanted bigger tires. Matching what comrades said to me here he too said that due to rim beads sizing we should not put bigger tire as advised here due to my J sizing being smaller to handle 265 so we not messing with that which you all said cause all sorts of issue. I had originally thought of putting 265 on rear from 255.
4 x 255 all across in Michelin Pilot Sport 4s now I am exited!
He is going to message me tomorrow for price after his discount.
I am really hoping I get a green thumbs up from you all on this and no trouble news. thanks you all.
