C63 255/30/19 Tyres

[Alex L]

I've only driven it the 8 miles from the tyre fitter to home. All I noticed was how sticky the tyre was flicking stones at the bodywork.

The C63 is the other half's car so doubt she'll notice any difference whatsoever

Any one know the cheapest place to get the rear yokos that come standard?

Surely this link cant be correct price?

Yes if your in the Midlands..

You might not be able to get the V103's now, but the V105 is better..

Does anyone know if fitting the 265 rear tyre throws out the speedo reading on the C63? I know my speedo is pretty well spot-on (compared to TomTom reading) so does fitting a larger tyre throw things out?

Fitting a wider tyre shouldnt make a difference because the circumference is the same. If you change the profile from 35 to say 30 then it would

I have 265s and have not measured with any degree of accuracy speedo change, but all seems fine.

That's not strictly true.

The tyre profile of the tyre is a % of the tyre width. 30% of 265 is greater than 30% of 255.

However, in reality such small alterations will have a negligible effect on speedo readout, 265/30/19 will read 1mph under actual speed, 275 2mph under.

I use this site to check the effect of tyre size changes to speedo readings. The tool is toward the bottom of the page.

Thanks - I never realised that
