The 6.2 one. 2013 plate. W204. Not the 507 version.
Congrats, it's a beast! great model year to pick. I was going to get a 2013 as a second car but wifey said nope.
I think a tyre like the Michelin cross climate + all season tyre is a much better choice than a full on winter tyre for southern UK but they just dont fit on a lot of c63 AMG models with 19 inch rims that can't be fitted with 18 inch rims (like my s205) . generally winter tyres aren't good enough in dry or wet from what I've read and are mainly biased towards snow or ice. the newer ones like the conti 860s are biased more towards dry and wet performance over snow which makes them potentially quite useful for our climate.
I can't say whether I'll actually be better off on the PA4s vs keeping my MPSS summers on. I'll take one for the team and let you all know in December (If they end up being a disaster and you find a set of barely used PA4s on Ebay in January, they aren't mine ...ahem ahem)
