LOL @ "being left for dead" in a legendary C63
I did say at 2000 rpm.

Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme
235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 Rears
The effect of Winter tyres is quite dramatic, only thing left to try is deeper snow and looking at the forecast that could be quite soon
Afternoon gentlemen
I have just had the following fitted to my C63
265/30/19 on the Rears
Thanks for a great thread!
I had assumed that the 265 was a typo, but I guess its not.. Did you get a new set of rims with these tyres as well. Sorry if this has already been answered in the thread and I have missed it..
Had enough of sliding around in my C63 and the rears are shot anyway (approx 5000 miles). So I am deciding wether to go for new 'normals' or take the plunge and get some winters on!
Great thread, thanks Mika. I think I'll be looking at a set of these next winter when I've got my 63.
Hi Beninlux
when you come over to the bluewater meetings dont forget to look left at J11 of M20
Mika,
When you go back to non-winter tryes if you stick with Continental suggest you got for CS5 not 3. I bought 3's and then read up on the 5's - supposed to last longer.

The reason why you're struggling to get winter tyres in that size is that they're rare. You should be fitting slimmer tyres for winter use and those sizes are much more popular. Check your car's handbook for more info!I know it only June but dont want to get stuck like I did last winter with my summer tyres and unable to get winters. Where did you guys get your Vredestein winters. Can find the 255/45/18's for the front but 275/45/18's for rear seem a bit harder to find. Want to get them b4 next winter, so seems good idea to look now. All help welcome, I am in north east kent .

So 225/40/18? None on mytres... Might have to wait another month or two for the stock to be ready for winter?I'm looking for 225's, still none available in that size since last year. I had to run my Vredestein's all winter even though they were below the 4mm limit for winter tyres. Once below 3mm they are almost as interesting as summer tyres in the snow.

Trouble is been told 255's dont fit on back wheels as they are 9.5 wide as opposed to 8.5 on front. Could get some standard 17 inch merc wheels and stick skinny 225 winter tyres on. Starting to get expensive now.
